Define genetic equilibrium.

Gene frequency in a population remains stable unless and until there is

[A]: According to Hardy-Weinburg law both gene frequencies and genotype frequencies will remain constant from generation to gen- eration in an infinitely large interbreeding population. [R]: Alleles segregating in a population tend to establish an equilibrium with reference to each other, thus maintain both frequencies constant.

According to Hardy-Weinberg's principle, the allele frequency of a population remains constant. How do you interpret the change of frequency of alleles in a population?

Read the following statements and choose the correct option A. Increase in melanized moths after industrialization in Great Britain is a proof for natrual selection B. When more individuals of a population acquire a mean character value, it is called disruption C. Changes in allelic frequency in a population will lead to Hardly Weinberg equilibrium D. Genetic drift changes the existing gene ot allelic frequency in future generations

[A] : Every biological system resists a change and wants to remain in a state of equilibrium . [R] : Climax communities of an ecosystem are produced after several changes it has gone through succession .

Persons carrying the dominant gene(s) can taste a particular chemical and are called tasters. The others are nontasters. In a large random-mating human population at the hardy-weinberg equilibrium. There are 36% non-tasters and 64% tasters. The frequency of heterozygotes in the populations is
