That situation is called a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Not actually seen outside of the lab.

A situation in which allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population is know as the?
founder effect
What effect does a bottleneck have on the allele frequency of a population?
It greatly reduces the total population, which increases the effects of genetic drift on allele frequency.
Why might a harmful allele persist in a population for many generations?
that is what i want to know
What happens when a population is in hardy weinberg equillibrium?
You mama The allele frequency does not change.
Would a change in allele frequencies be more likely to produce microevolution or macroevolution?
Small changes are produced with changing frequency. Alleles are different form of same gene. Hence for macroevolution, large changes are essential.
What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
It is a situation where allele frequencies remain constant.
What is a situation in which allele frequencies remain constant?
Equal fitness in a population
What is the type of equilibrium that occurs when allele frequencies do not change?
Genetic equilibrium is when the allele frequencies remain constant.
A situation in which allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population is know as the?
founder effect
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
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.
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.
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 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.
The number of trout in a lake drops when the lake is polluted. The trout population later increases but the allele frequencies are different. What does this situation represent?
Answer this question… Genetic drift
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.
