genetic equilibrium

genetic equilibrium
the condition that exists when genotype frequencies in a population are constant in successive generations; i.e., the frequency of each allele in the population remains unchanged in successive generations. See also Hardy-Weinberg law, under law. Called also Hardy-Weinberg e.
