What does the Hardy-WeinbergWeinberg principle state about allele frequencies in a population?

What does the Hardy-WeinbergWeinberg principle state about allele frequencies in a population?
  1. They are unstable and constantly changing from generation to generation.
  2. They are stable and remain constant from generation to generation.
  3. They are only present in certain generations and not others.
  4. They are only found in certain populations and not others.

Solution

The Hardy-WeinbergWeinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population are stable and remain constant from generation to generation, meaning that the gene pool (total genes and their alleles in a population) remains constant.
