Evolution refers to when allele frequencies in a population change over time. For hypothetical population “X” Which of the following can NOT theoretically cause changes in the allele frequency found in population “X”?

If there is a mutation occurring in a population that turns allele "A" into allele "a" (and no other mechanisms of evolution are at work in the population), which of the following will be true? Allele frequencies will stay the same over time The frequency of "A" will increase over time The frequency of "a" will increase over time We can't tell what will happen to the allele frequencies in the population, given this information.
