Most populations on earth are affected by several factors such as a genetic drift mutations and natural selection which statement applies to a population that is experiencing changes in gene frequencies


Evolution is occurring in the population


Mutations will not affect the population


Lethal gene will eventually be expressed


The hardy-weinberg equilibrium is being maintained

Respuesta :

The answer is; Evolution is occurring in the population

When the gene frequency is changing in a population it means some gene alleles are being slowly eliminated from successive generations and the other is being favored.  This means that one allele is giving an advantage in the environment while the other is offering a disadvantage. This is natural selection, which powers evolution., in progress.

The statement applies to a population that is experiencing changes in gene frequencies - evolution is occurring in the population

Evolution

It is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection, genetic drift, mutation. It is a very long process that takes several generations.

In this process, only beneficial traits are accumulated while harmful traits or genes are eliminated from the population. As there are changes that take place so these can not follow the hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
