Detailed explanation-1: -Evolutionary processes depend on both changes in genetic variability and changes in allele frequencies over time. The study of evolution can be performed on different scales. Microevolution reflects changes in DNA sequences and allele frequencies within a species over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Formally, evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over time, so a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not evolving.
Detailed explanation-3: -Allele frequencies in a population may change due to four fundamental forces of evolution: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Mutations and Gene Flow. Mutations are the ultimate source of new alleles in a gene pool. Two of the most relevant mechanisms of evolutionary change are: Natural Selection and Genetic Drift.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation that occurs due to chance events.
