If selection occurs, the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is disrupted because certain alleles or genotypes are favored over others, leading to changes in allele frequencies over generations. This selection can result in increased frequency of advantageous traits and decreased frequency of disadvantageous traits, ultimately altering the genetic composition of the population. Consequently, the population may no longer meet the assumptions necessary for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, such as random mating and no selection.
What else can I help you with?
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
Why a reaction needs to take place at equilibrium?
Many chemical reactions, like combustion , go to completion and not to equilibrium. It is normally desirable to give a chemical reaction time to reach equilibrium in order you get the maximum yield of one or more products.
What does it mean for a reaction to be a equilibrium?
In a particular time, if the forward and backward reactions of a reversible reactions take place in the same rate, there would be not a visible change (i.e. no net change) in the system, and that system is said to be at equilibrium.
Do the forward and reverse reactions stop at equilibrium?
A Reversible reactions is a chemical phenomenon. This happens when in a reaction the reactants transform from the reactants into there products. This is what happens normally in a reaction. However in a reversible reaction the product that has been form goes back into its reactants. Then the newly formed reactants react into there products and the process is repeated. In plain english it means the what you have created returns into its original form. Its much clearer in a equation: A → B represents the transformation of the reactants (A) into the product (B), Once a product is formed its decomposes into its reactants B → A and so on is the process repeated i.e A ←→ B.
Solids and liquids are excluded from equilibrium expressions because?
They are just the medium in which the equilibrium takes place. It could be similar to boys and girls dating in a disco. The boys and girls (ions) interaction is different to the disco (liquid) that is allowing the interaction to take place, but is not interfering with it.
What place is the place where supply and demand curves intersect?
The point where supply and demand intersect is the equilibrium point. This is the point where quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal.
What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
What happens in the body when particles move from a place with lots of them to a place with less of them?
Diffusion is when something moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It is considered Osmosis when water moves through a semipermeable membrane to ensure equilibrium.
Is it true that at equilibrium, no chemical reactions take place?
At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, but chemical reactions are still occurring.
What are the phase changes processes taking place when a substance is in equilibrium between liquid and gas phase?
Evaporating and condensing
What is the theory that evolution takes place quickly?
The theory of punctuated equilibrium suggests that evolution occurs rapidly in short bursts followed by long periods of stability. This contrasts with gradualism, which proposes that evolution happens slowly and steadily over time. Punctuated equilibrium is supported by the fossil record, where evidence of rapid changes in species can be observed.
What happens at equilibrium if you fill a shallow pan with water and place a drop of red ink in one end of the pan and a drop of green ink in the other end?
The red and green inks are uniformly distributed throughout the pan.
What type of selection is taking place on Wallace Island?
In Darwin's time, it would be classified as "natural" selection.
Equilibrium is achieved when the and chemical reactions continue to take place at the same rate?
Equilibrium is achieved when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products. At equilibrium, chemical reactions continue to take place, but the overall concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
Which would stop hardy weinberg equillibrium from happening?
Some individuals produce more offspring than others.
What place was Darwin's Theory of Evolution?
natural selection
