Detailed explanation-1: -When allelic frequencies remain unchanged, a populations in genetic equilibrium. This statement expresses which of the following. A population diverges and becomes reproductively isolated.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it is not evolving, and allele frequencies will stay the same across generations. There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hardy Weinberg principle states that the allelic frequency remains constant through generations and the gene pool remains constant. This phenomenon is called genetic equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.
Detailed explanation-5: -Correct answer: By definition, the Hardy-Weinberg principle states that genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant throughout generations. In order for equilibrium to occur, there must be a large, randomly mating population with no selection, genetic drift, migration, or mutation.
