What else can I help you with?
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....
When a population is not evolving what is it called?
When a population is not evolving, it is called being in genetic equilibrium. This means that the frequency of alleles in the population remains constant from generation to generation. Evolution requires changes in allele frequencies, so genetic equilibrium indicates no evolution is occurring.
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.
How do genotype frequencies stay the same in a population if evolution is not occurring?
Genotype frequencies stay the same in a population when evolution is not occurring due to genetic equilibrium, which is maintained by factors like random mating, no mutations, no gene flow, a large population size, and no natural selection.
What is it called when no evolution takes place?
A species that does evolve is an open ended species. One that doesn't is the opposite of that.
How is DNA evidence used in evolution?
All species have the same genetic code.
What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
A population is in genetic equilibrium when allele frequencies remain constant over generations, indicating that there is no evolution occurring. This suggests that the population is not experiencing any genetic drift, gene flow, mutations, or natural selection.
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.
What genetic change is always a result of evolution?
Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.
Any violation of the conditions necessary for hardy-weinberg equilibrium can result in?
Any violation of the conditions necessary for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can result in changes in allele frequencies in a population. This includes factors such as mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, non-random mating, and natural selection that can disrupt the genetic equilibrium established by Hardy-Weinberg principles.
What is the relationship between Hardy-Wienberg equilibrium and evolution?
When an organism is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium there is no evolution. There is no mutation, mating is random and thus no natural selection. Naturally, outside of labs this condition is never seen.
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.
