Question

genotypes are said to be in ______ equilibrium if there is random mating and no other forces tend to alter the proportions of alleles from one generation to the next. multiple choice - frequency - dependent - hardy - weinberg - steady state - homeostatic - mendelian

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The described equilibrium, defined by random mating and unchanging allele proportions across generations, is a core concept in population genetics. Frequency-dependent refers to trait fitness tied to allele frequency, steady state is a general stable condition, homeostatic relates to biological stability, and Mendelian refers to inheritance laws—none match the specific definition given. Only Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium fits this exact scenario.

Answer:

Hardy-Weinberg
