Stable populations and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Abstract The conditions on the mating matrix associated with a stable equilibrium are specified for an autosomal locus with five alleles. This points the way to the maintenance of Hardy-Weinberg proportions with non-random mating. The myth of random mating is exposed.
