1) Mutation * Replication error * Change in DNA sequence: * ** A) Harmful ** B) Benign ** C) Beneficial (rare) 2) Migration * Movement from one population to another * ** success depends on ability to survive and breed * Gamete transport * Gene flow-reduce number of differences in populations 3) Genetic drift * Loss of alleles * ** maybe result of drastic event * Isolation * Founder Effect * ** one or few individuals carrying alleles ** those individuals interbreed * Bottleneck Effect * ** loss of alleles: less genetic variability 4) Nonrandom mating: increases homozygotes in population 5) Selection: survival of the fittest

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.
The hardy-weinberg states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool?
allele frequencies
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool.?

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool?
allele frequencies
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.
Which evolutionary mechanisms could affect allele frequencies in a population being maintained in captivity?
natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation
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.
What is a situation in which allele frequencies remain constant?
Equal fitness in a population
The influence of genetic drift on allele frequencies increases as?
population size decreases
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.
Under what conditions would you expect allele frequencies to stay same?
Equal fitness in a population
