Question

The frequency of alleles in a population that is in hardy-Weinberg equilibrium A) changes in each successive generation B) is less important than the frequency of genotypes C) shows evidence of the process of natural selection D) remains the same over several generations

Answer 1

The frequency of alleles in a population that is in hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

A) changes in each successive generation

B) is less important than the frequency of genotypes

C) shows evidence of the process of natural selection

D) remains the same over several generations

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D,

Explanation:

In hardy Weinberg equation, the frequency of allele and genotype remains constant from one generation to another for a long period of succession. It only gets change when genetic disturbances such as genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, selective mating, founder's effect etc. comes in way.

However , the basic assumptions of Hardy Weinberg model is that there will be no genetic disturbance or gene flow in a given population and hence the  frequency of alleles in a population that is in hardy-Weinberg equilibrium will be constant.

Hence, option D is correct.
