If two populations are merged, each with different frequencies of an allele at a locus, and random mating occurs immediately, how long will it take to achieve a hardy–weinberg equilibrium in the new population?.

Respuesta :

If two populations with different frequencies of an allele at a locus randomly mate, then only ONE generation will take to achieve Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. This principle is used in population genetics.

The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium is a principle used in population genetics to calculate allele and genotype frequencies in a population.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in absence of different evolutionary forces.

The evolutionary forces that may alter the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium include natural selection, mutations, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, and gene flow.
