Genetic equilibrium and allele frequencies are maintained by all EXCEPT which one of the following?
A) lack of gene flow
B) large population interbreeding freely
C) differential survival and reproduction
D) random mating
E) absence of mutations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential survival and reproduction can alter allele frequencies, therefore it does not maintain genetic equilibrium. The other options (lack of gene flow, large population interbreeding freely, random mating, and absence of mutations) all contribute to the maintenance of genetic equilibrium and allele frequencies.
