Question

According to the Hardy-Weinberg formula, the frequencies of alleles in a population will remain constant if _____ is the only process that affects the gene pool.

Answer 1

Answer: Sexual reproduction

Explanation:

First, you should understand that mutation (an change in the base-pair sequence of the genetic material, DNA) is the original source of all genetic variation; as such whatsoever will alter the frequency of alleles, even if it is evolution, it relies on mutation.

In contrast, sexual reproduction does not change the frequency of alleles in the gene pool, rather it ensures constancy through the meiotic cell division process
