What is the type of equilibrium that occurs when allele frequencies do not change?
Genetic equilibrium is when the allele frequencies remain constant.
The allele frequencies of a population are more likely to remain unchange if?
There is no evolution. Random mating, no immigration/emigration, or, in short, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium holds.
What would cause allele frequencies to remain unchanged?
Only one thing: extinction.
What is a situation in which allele frequencies remain constant?
Equal fitness in a population
What does the hardy Weinberg principle state?
allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change

What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
It is a situation where allele frequencies remain constant.

Principle stating that allele frequencies will remain constant unless factors cause them to change?
To my awareness, there's no such principle.
What is Hardy's weinberg principle?
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that both allele and genotype frequencies in a population remain constant-that is, they are in equilibrium-from generation to generation unless specific disturbing influences are introduced. In practice, however, it is impossible to remove such disturbing influences thus making this principle purely theoretical.
Allele frequencies in a population tend to remain the same from generation to generation unless acted on by outside influences?
Genetic equilibrium is a theoretical concept used to study the dymamics of single alleles in the population gene pool. In practice, there is no situation in which allele frequencies do not drift to some degree. Large populations may slow drift down, but there will still be drift.
The situation in which allele frequencies of a population remain constant is called?
That situation is called a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Not actually seen outside of the lab.
What type of population would evolution occur most rapidly?
Smaller populations or populations split by some sort of geographic barrier. In small populations gene flow and genetic drift would shift allele frequencies back and forth very rapidly as the population would be subject to the vagaries of the environment and the small size population effects of random effects and various sized gene flows into the populations gene pool. No selection for adaptive traits here and not enough allele shift for speciation., though enough for evolution If a large enough population is split, say by a river or mountain range, then you have different mutations offering up different selective opportunities and if these populations remain split long enough they may lose the ability to interbreed and become two different species. This without the wash out of diversity that would plague small populations.
How many populations of polar bears remain in the Arctic?
There are 19 polar bear populations there.
