subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences of populations, part of evolutionary biology / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population genetics is the branch of genetics which studies the genetic composition of populations.[1] It brings together genetics, evolution, natural selection, breeding, statistics and mathematics.[2] Mathematical and computer models are produced, and field research is done to test the models.
