Abstract
The most common phenomena in the evolution process are natural selection and genetic drift. In this
article, we propose a probabilistic method to calculate the mean and variance time for random genetic
drift equilibrium, measured as number of generations, based on Markov process and a complex probabilistic
model.We studied the case of a constant, panmictic population of diploid organisms, which had a
demonstrated lack of mutation, selection or migration for a determined autonomic locus, and two possible
alleles, H and h. The calculations presented in this article were based on a Markov process. They explain
how genetic and genotypic frequencies changed in different generations and how the heterozygote alleles
became extinguished after many generations. This calculation could be used in more evolutionary applications.
Finally, some simulations are presented to illustrate the theoretical calculations presented using
different basal situations.
