No. Evolution is the change in allele ( different molecular forms of the same gene ) frequency over time in a population of organisms. No equilibrium there.

True or False When a population is in genetic equilibrium there is no genetic variation among individuals in that population?
True
What is a genetic algorithm?
A method that mimics evolution and natural selection to solve the problem.
What effect does evolution have on a population's genetic material?
It changes genes and so passes them on
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
In evolution is genetic drift adaptive maladaptive both or neither?
my notes from my class say maladaptive....
How do change Genetic equilibrium lead to speciation?
Allele frequency is altered by genetic drift, natural selection, migration, mutation, or nonrandom mating. This results in a change in genetic equilibrium in a population that is evolving. Evolution leads eventually to speciation.
Is it true Changes in the genetic equilibrium of a population can create a new species in a rapid burst of time?
As far as I know, if a species is under genetic equilibrium, the Hardy-Wienberg principle says that evolution will not happen at all, much less cause it in a rapid burst of time.
How does migration affect the genetic equilibrium of a population?
Migration affects the genetic equilibrium of a population by maintaining it.
How is DNA evidence used in evolution?
All species have the same genetic code.
What genetic change is always a result of evolution?
Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.
Can Evolution proceed even if there is no genetic variability?
Not biological evolution in the standard sense. No variation, genetic variability, and there is nothing for natural selection to select from.
What is a part of macro-evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
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 is fast and abrupt evolution?
Punctuated equilibrium.
What are the eight unifying themes of botany?
The unifying themes of botany are: Evolution, ecology, genetic continuity and reproduction, growth, development and differentiation, force matter and organization, maintenance and dynamic equilibrium
Genetic equilibrium is the alteration of allelic frequencies by chance processes?
genetic drift
Is population evolving in genetic equilibrium?
It is true.
