Abstract
A simple model by which Hardy-Weinberg proportions are attained in a single generation while maintaining gene frequencies is stated and illustrated. The title 'Quasi-random mating' is proposed. Confusion about the Hardy-Weinberg principle can be avoided only if there is clear separation between the basic deterministic model and factors influencing a population's structure. Eighty years passed before C. C. Li coined the term 'pseudo-random mating'. The lesson taught by Li has not been taken on board.
