Question

The modern synthesis combined the concepts of _______ and evolution. If a population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allele frequencies must be _______.

Answer 1

1. natural selection

2. constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer would be - genetics, constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The modern synthesis is a unified evolution theory that came forward by the fusion of Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution. It is focused on the genetic basis of evolution as it defines evolution as changes in the allele frequency in the population.

If a population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allele frequencies remain the same in the population unless there is no change is applied to it. It will remain constant only if there is no mutation, infinite population size, no gene flow, random mating, and no selection.
