Question

Which population is most likely to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

a large population of ocean fish that lives in an unpolluted ecosystem that has abundant food
a large population of prairie grasses that lives in an ecosystem that is frequently burned by wild fires
a medium-sized population of birds that lives on a chain of islands that have different food sources
a medium-sized population of bacteria that lives on crop plants that are frequently sprayed with pesticides

Answer 2

a large population of ocean fish that lives in an unpolluted ecosystem that has abundant food

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. So if the large population of ocean fish isn't being disturbed by the pollution (unpolluted) and they have an abundant source of food they should in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium since no major changes are happening.
