Gene flow occurs through generations can occur across language barriers in humans. If we have a technique of measuring specific allele frequencies in different population of the world, can we not predict human migratory patterns in pre-history and history? Do you agree or disagree?

Explain the following two components of Darwin's theory of natural selection. Variations

[A]: According to Hardy-Weinburg law both gene frequencies and genotype frequencies will remain constant from generation to gen- eration in an infinitely large interbreeding population. [R]: Alleles segregating in a population tend to establish an equilibrium with reference to each other, thus maintain both frequencies constant.
