A genetic study conducted over two generations found that the frequencies of genotypes in the first generation were AA: 0.36, Aa: 0.48, and aa: 0.16. In the second generation, genotype frequencies remained the same. According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can assume Group of answer choices the population is small and we cannot detect change. mating in this population is random. mutations have likely occurred, resulting in the same frequency. negative assortative mating has maintained gene frequencies.

mating in this population is random

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies in a population remain constant for generations in absence of evolutionary forces like genetic drift, natural selection, mutation etc. A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if there is random mating ( not biased towards a particular phenotype ), no gene flow, large population size, no mutation and no selection. These factors are important as disturbing them will change the allele frequency. Hence, if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we can assume that mating in this population is random.

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. they grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. these underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species.
