Population genetics
Population genetics is the study of the distribution of genetic variations within populations and how these variations change over time, influenced by factors such as Natural selection, Genetic drift, Mutation, and Gene flow. This field combines Evolutionary biology, Statistics, and Mendelian genetics to understand the dynamics of genetic diversity. Researchers like Sewall Wright and Ronald Fisher have contributed significantly to the development of population genetics. The study of population genetics has important implications for fields such as Conservation biology, Forensic science, and Personalized medicine. Key concepts include Hardy-Weinberg principle, Genetic variation, and Phylogenetics.
