Population Genetics: From Allele Frequencies to Microevolution

Allele and Genotype Frequencies → Microevolution in Action

This learning path introduces undergraduate biology students to the core concepts of population genetics, focusing on how allele frequencies change over time. Starting with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium as a null model, the path explores the forces of mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection, and how they interact to drive microevolution. By the end, learners will be able to apply these principles to analyze real-world evolutionary scenarios.
