### Step-by-Step Solution **(a) Explanation of Hardy-Weinberg's Expression and Genetic Equilibrium:** 1. **Definition of Genetic Equilibrium:** - Genetic equilibrium refers to a state in a population where the allele frequencies remain constant from generation to generation. This stability indicates that the population is not evolving. 2. **Hardy-Weinberg Principle:** ...
