Which factor would most likely disrupt genetic equilibrium in a large population?

Genetic Drift


What is the negative feedback of the dynamic equilibrium?

Negative feedback in dynamic equilibrium helps to maintain stability by counteracting any changes that disrupt the equilibrium. It ensures that the system returns to its original set point, minimizing fluctuations and maintaining homeostasis.


How does mutation work against the Hardy and Weinberg equilibrium?

Mutations introduce new genetic variation into a population, which can disrupt the balance of allele frequencies required for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If a mutation increases the frequency of a particular allele, it can lead to deviations from the expected genotype frequencies under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.


What is the branch of science that deals with viruses?

Virology is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses, including their structure, classification, evolution, and interactions with their hosts. It encompasses various disciplines such as molecular biology, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology to understand the behavior and impact of viruses on living organisms.


Can all living things be affected by viruses?

Not all living things can be affected by viruses; viruses are highly specific and typically infect particular hosts. Most viruses target specific types of cells, such as those found in animals, plants, fungi, or bacteria. For instance, bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, while other viruses may only infect certain animal or plant species. Therefore, while many organisms can be affected by viruses, others are resistant or immune to specific viral infections.
