Question

What does it mean when a population is in genetic equilibrium?

Answer 1

Population in genetic equilibrium

1. In ecology, the population is made up of all the living beings of a specific species that live in a specific area.
2. When there is no evolution within a population, it is said to be in genetic equilibrium.
3. In other words, the frequency of alleles (gene variations) remains constant from generation to generation.
4. The gene or allele frequencies are steady and do not change in genetic equilibrium.
5. As a result, even after numerous generations, the population does not evolve.
