How can a population achieve genetic equilibrium?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

1) No mutations
2) No natural selection
3) No individuals in or out of a population.
4) Large population
5) Random mating

It is, however, impossible for a population to achieve genetic equilibrium. There are always going to be mutations occurring from time to time.

What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
The allele frequencies are constant; thus, the population does not evolve.
Is it common for a population to remain in genetic equilibrium?
If the allele frequencies do not change, the population will not evolve.
Why is genetic equilibrium uncommon in actual populations?
Genes are not copied perfectly, ontogeny also helps make many variant organisms and natural selection chooses the variants that are most suitable to the environment. That means that several variant...
