Population Genetics studies genetic variation within populations, focusing on allele frequencies and how they change over time due to processes such as mutation, selection, migration, and genetic drift. It delves into the distribution of genotypes in populations and the factors influencing these distributions. This subcategory is closely tied to Recombination, as recombination events play a crucial role in shaping genetic diversity within populations. In the context of Science/Genetics/Recombination, Population Genetics explores how recombination contributes to evolutionary processes and the maintenance of genetic variation at the population level.
