Generation

Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a population, arising from mutations, sexual reproduction, and gene flow. This variation is essential for natural selection and evolution, as it provides the raw material for populations to adapt to changing environments. A key measure is **heterozygosity (H)**, calculated as **H = 1 - Σpᵢ²**, where pᵢ represents the frequency of each allele at a locus; higher values indicate greater genetic diversity. Another important formula is the **Hardy-Weinberg equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1**, which describes genotype frequencies in a non-evolving population at equilibrium.
