According to Hardy–Weinberg’s principle, the allele frequency of a population remains constant. How do you interpret the change of frequency of alleles in a population ?

Solution
Disturbances in genetic equilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium i.e. change of frequency of alleles in a population would result in evolution. The disturbances like gene flow or gene migration, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and natural selection contribute to the change of frequency of alleles.
