Regarding the genetic structure of the population, the following two hypotheses have been proposed:- 1. Classical Hypothesis 2. Balance Hypothesis. Model # 1. Classical Hypothesis: It was developed by T.H. Morgan (1932) and supported by H.J. Muller and Kaplan (1966). The classical hypothesis proposes that the gene pool of a population consists at each gene […]
Chance Mating in Mendelian Population | Genetics

Just as the gene frequency is controlled in the genetic laboratory, so is the mating pattern, generation after generation. But outside the laboratory, chance mating is a chance or random affair. Every member of Mendelian population, thus, depends on chance or random matings. In other words, every male gamete in the gene pool has an […]
