You examine a population and note that its allele frequencies for a particular gene are p = 0.55 and q = 0.45.If you came back and examined the population after several generations and found that the values for p and q had not changed,which statement would be false for this gene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the allele frequencies (p and q) have not changed over several generations, it indicates that the population is not evolving for this particular gene. Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies in a population over time. Stability in these frequencies suggests that evolutionary forces like drift, selection, or gene flow are not significantly affecting this gene's variation in the population.
