List the five conditions that can disturb genetic equilibrium in a
population
I think Infinite population size, no mutation, no selection against a certain homozygous gene, random mating, no immigration/emigration Mutations. can someone let me know if this is right or not? if not can someone tell me what the right answer is?
For those looking for answers, this is incorrect because she is listing the 5 conditions that don't disturb it, the correct answer is non-random mating, small population size, immigration or emigration, mutations, and natural selection. Have a nice day!
Think, "What causes genetic change?"
The AnswerKing is correct. These factors change genetic sequences in a population. corie misunderstood the question, so she wrote things that KEEP the genetic sequences constant, or same. That is, depends on what your questions ask
someone plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz help me!
Your answer contains some incorrect information. The conditions that can disturb genetic equilibrium in a population are:
1. Genetic Mutations: Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, which can introduce new alleles into a population or alter existing alleles.
2. Natural Selection: Selection against certain traits or alleles can lead to changes in allele frequencies and disrupt genetic equilibrium.
3. Genetic Drift: Random changes in allele frequencies can occur due to chance events, especially in small populations. This can lead to the loss or fixation of certain alleles over time.
4. Gene Flow: The movement of individuals or their genes into or out of a population can introduce new alleles or remove existing ones, leading to changes in the genetic makeup of the population.
5. Non-Random Mating: When individuals selectively choose their mates based on certain traits, it can lead to changes in allele frequencies and disrupt genetic equilibrium.
Infinite population size is not a condition that disturbs genetic equilibrium since it does not introduce any of the mechanisms mentioned above. Additionally, the absence of immigration/emigration is not a factor as it does not directly affect the genetic makeup of a population.
