Is the above population in genetic equilibrium?
A)no;it is far from genetic equilibrium
B)yes;observed and expected frequencies are the same
C)the population is close to being in genetic equilibrium with the expected and observed phenotypic frequencies being close together

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the observed and expected phenotypic frequencies are close together indicates that the population is close to being in genetic equilibrium. However, if there were a perfect match between observed and expected frequencies, it would indicate that the population is in complete genetic equilibrium. Therefore, option B is not the best choice. Option A implies that the population is very far from genetic equilibrium, which is not necessarily true based on the information given.
