Question

Which of the following is a feature of genetic equilibrium?

• A. The gene pool remains constant
• B. Alleles frequency of a population is stable
• C. The total sum of all the allele frequency is $\left(A\right)$
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.
