Question

if the hardy - weinberg equilibrium is met, what is the net effect?
multiple choice

evolution leading to a population better adapted to an unchanging environment

evolution leading to a population better adapted to a changing environment

very slow and continuous evolution with no increased adaptation

no evolution because the alleles in the population remain the same

Explanation:

The Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary forces such as mutation, natural selection, gene flow, non - random mating, and genetic drift. When these conditions are met (Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium is met), there is no evolution as the alleles in the population remain the same.

Answer:

D. no evolution because the alleles in the population remain the same
