Population genetics
Population genetics
is the study of the distribution and change in
frequency of alleles
within
populations
, and as such it sits firmly within the field of
evolutionary biology
. The main processes of
evolution
are
natural selection
,
genetic drift
,
gene flow
,
mutation
, and
genetic recombination
and they form an integral part of the theory that underpins population genetics. Studies in this branch of biology examine such phenomena as
adaptation
,
speciation
, population subdivision, and
population structure
.
