In which population is genetic equilibrium most likely to occur?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

RANDOM MATING

Explanation:

random mating

The Hardy Weinberg principle of genetic equilibrium defines that gene and allelic frequencies will remain the same among the generations in an infinitely large interbreeding population. In this population the mating among the members of the population is random and no selection, migration and mutation will occur.
