The theoretical approach to population genetics

Al Ghafri, Mataab K.

Abstract

Population genetics is the study of gene variation within or between populations. It deals with the allele frequencies in a given population and the forces, which might change this. Such forces, which are known to alter and change the allele frequency are mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift, among others. Understanding population genetics is aimed at those who have at least an intermediate knowledge of the natural sciences and a basic understanding of mathematics.
