But over the next few decades genetics and evolution were integrated in what became known as the modern synthesis—the coherent understanding of the relationship between natural selection and genetics that took shape by the 1940s and is generally accepted today.

In other words, the frequency of pp individuals is simply p 2 ; the frequency of pq individuals is 2pq; and the frequency of qq individuals is q 2 . And, again, if p and q are the only two possible alleles for a given trait in the population, these genotype frequencies will sum to one: p 2 + 2pq + q 2 = 1.

Instead, evolution occurs at the level of the population. A population consists of organisms of the same species that live in the same area. In terms of evolution, the population is assumed to be a relatively closed group. This means that most mating takes place within the population. Evolutionary change that occurs over relatively short periods of time within populations is called microevolution.

Evolution involves changes in the gene pool, while a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium shows no change. Hence, populations are able to maintain a reservoir of variability so that if future conditions require it, the gene pool can change.
