Question: How can you determine whether or not a given population is in genetic equilibrium?
- Compare gene frequencies and genotype frequencies of two generations.
- Evaluate the population's response to environmental stress
- Assess the mutation rates of the population's genes
- Compare the population size over generations
- Calculate the ratio of males to females in the population
- Check the physical traits of the population
- Monitor the birth and death rates within the population
- Measure the migration rates in and out of the population
- Examine the species diversity within the population's ecosystem
- Analyze the age distribution of the population
