According to Hardy-Weinberg theorem, frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population's gene pool remain:
Correct answer: D. Constant unless acted upon by agents other than sexual recombination
- A. Mobile in gene pool
- B. Constant
- C. Stationary in gene pool
- D. Constant unless acted upon by agents other than sexual recombination
Explanation
According to Hardy-Weinberg theorem, the frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population's gene pool remain constant over the generations unless acted upon by agents other than sexual recombination.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
