Abstract

The genetics of populations with discrete generations were studied in this paper. We explored the change of the relative frequencies of genes based on the Hardy-Weinberg law. The difference equations were formulated for describing their changes. The stability theorem was used for analysis. The numerical simulations were found with the different situations.


Keywords: difference equations, genetics, Hardy-Weinberg law, stability theorem
