The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a bit like the "Punnett square for populations". A Punnett square can predict the probability of offspring's genotype based on parents' genotype, or the offsprings' genotype can be used to reveal the parents' genotype. The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used to calculate the frequency of particular alleles based on frequency diseases. This principle can determine useful but difficult-to-measure facts about a population.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a mathematical model used to predict the frequency of alleles in a population over time, assuming certain conditions are met. It is used by geneticists to study evolution, genetic drift, and natural selection within populations. It helps determine if a population is evolving or if forces such as mutation, gene flow, or genetic drift are affecting allele frequencies.
No allele can give an advantage
No, "hardy" is not an abstract noun. "Hardy" is an adjective that describes someone or something as robust, strong, or capable of withstanding tough conditions.
HOW TO DO A JE FF HARDY SWANTIMEBOMB?
The Hardy-Weinberg law assumes that there is no mutation occurring in the population because mutations can introduce new alleles, disrupting the equilibrium between allelic frequencies. Including mutations would complicate the predictive power of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
