From a genetic standpoint, which statement best describes evolution? a change in allele frequencies in a population a change in genotypes in a population a change in the phenotypes or genotypes of individuals an introduction of new alleles into a species a change in phenotypes in a population
John N.
Evolution, in the biological sense, is best described by which of the statements? It is genetic change, over time, in a group of individuals. It is any biological change, over time, in a group of individuals. It requires differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on genetic factors. It requires extreme changes in environment. It requires mutation to produce new alleles.

If a population's allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation, (a) the population is undergoing evolutionary change (b) the population is said to be at genetic equilibrium (c) microevolution has taken place (d) directional selection is occurring, but only for a few generations (e) genetic drift is a significant evolutionary force
