Abstract

The famous Hardy Weinberg Law (1908) gave fundamental approach to many calculations in population genetics. Besides it, the statistics in the classical work done by Fisher, Haldons and Wright proved great advantageous to theoretical understanding of evolution process. In this direction the stochastic process with nonlinear differential, difference equations and algebra yield mathematics with genetics. The pioneer work of all this synthesis was done by S.N. Bernestein in his series of papers (1971–79). In this paper we have made detail review on Statistical methods applied successfully to population genetics.
