Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which is represented by the equation p²+ 2pq + q² = 1, assumes that mating is random and that any allele in the population can unite with any other allele in the population. Both allele frequencies and genotype frequencies are stable, and genotype frequency can be inferred if allele frequency is known (and vice versa). Usually, evolutionary pressures or other factors (such as linkage and crossing-over) disrupt this equilibrium, so Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is considered valid only in the absence of selective forces.
