What is the type of equilibrium that occurs when allele frequencies do not change?
Genetic equilibrium is when the allele frequencies remain constant.
A population in which allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation is said to be in?
A population in which the allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next is said to be in equilibrium.
True or false Mutations are not capable of altering allele frequencies?
In the strict sense, no. Mutations happen to individuals and are only heritable in the germ line. Populations have allele frequencies in their gene pools. So, the mutation must be beneficial, lucky enough that it original carrier passes it on intact and that it is driven into the populations gene pool in sufficient number, by having reproductive success, to change allele frequencies.
What would cause allele frequencies to remain unchanged?
Only one thing: extinction.
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 is the type of equilibrium that occurs when allele frequencies do not change?
Genetic equilibrium is when the allele frequencies remain constant.
What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
It is a situation where allele frequencies remain constant.
A population in which allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation is said to be in?
A population in which the allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next is said to be in equilibrium.
Do Stable allele frequencies prevent microevolution?
no
When microevolution occurs what kind of frequencies change?
allele
Are mutations capable of altering allele frequencies?
Yes
Generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies in a population is?
The term used to describe the generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies of a population is simply evolution. Simple answer for a complicated-looking question. ;) Hope this helps.
How are alleles frequencies related to gene pools?
The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool
What is the process called when allele frequencies in a population of a species change over time?
Evolution; the change in allele frequencies over time in a population of organisms.
Does natural selection on single-gene trait cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies?
Natural selection on a single-gene trait can lead to changes in allele frequencies for the alleles of that gene.
If the actual allele frequencies in a population do not match genotype frequencies predicted by the Hardy Weinberg equation what is the population?
The population is evolving.
The influence of genetic drift on allele frequencies increases as?
population size decreases
