For genetic equilibrium to be maintained, there cannot be ____ into or out of the population.
A
communication
B
cooperation
C
movement
D
parasites
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘The population is small’

Detailed explanation-2: -The Hardy-Weinberg model states that a population will remain at genetic equilibrium as long as five conditions are met: (1) No change in the DNA sequence, (2) No migration, (3) A very large population size, (4) Random mating, and (5) No natural selection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic equilibrium is the condition of an allele or genotype in a gene pool (such as a population) where the frequency does not change from generation to generation. Genetic equilibrium describes a theoretical state that is the basis for determining whether and in what ways populations may deviate from it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic equilibrium is a condition where a gene pool is not changing in frequency across generations. This is because the evolutionary forces acting upon the allele are equal. As a result, the population does not evolve even after several generations.
