When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.
What is it called when allele frequencies remain constant?
Terms in this set (10)
The situation in which allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population remain constant is called. genetic equilibrium.
What is it called when allele frequencies remain constant and a population is not evolving?
The Hardy–Weinberg principle relates allele frequencies to genotype frequencies in a randomly mating population. ... In the absence of other evolutionary forces (such as natural selection), genotype frequencies are expected to remain constant and the population is said to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.
