The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gene Frequency Equilibrium**: The equilibrium of gene frequencies in a population refers to a state where the allele frequencies remain constant over generations. This concept is primarily described by the Hardy-Weinberg Principle. 2. **Hardy-Weinberg Principle**: According to the Hardy-Weinberg Principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences such as mutation, selection, gene flow, and genetic drift. 3. **Hardy-Weinberg Equation**: The Hardy-Weinberg equation is expressed as: \[ p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 \] Here, \(p\) represents the frequency of one allele (e.g., A), and \(q\) represents the frequency of the other allele (e.g., a). 4. **Interpretation of Terms**: - \(p^2\): Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (AA). - \(2pq\): Frequency of heterozygous genotype (Aa). - \(q^2\): Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (aa). - The sum of all allele frequencies must equal 1, meaning \(p + q = 1\). 5. **Conclusion**: The equilibrium of gene frequencies is correctly described by the Hardy-Weinberg law. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the equilibrium of gene frequencies is equal to the Hardy-Weinberg law. **Final Answer**: The equilibrium of gene frequencies is described by the Hardy-Weinberg law. ---

[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.

If change in gene frequencies in a population occurs by chance, then it is called as:
