Question 2 • Fall 24 GSE Biology B-IC

The frequency of alleles in a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Answer
A
changes in each successive generation.
B
is less important than the frequency of genotypes.
C
shows evidence of the process of natural selection.
D
remains the same over several generations.

Explanation

In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next, assuming the conditions for equilibrium are met. Therefore, the frequency of alleles remains the same over several generations. A changing allele frequency could indicate that evolution is occurring, such as through natural selection.
