What is the difference between a
stable equilibrium and a
neutral equilibrium in allele
frequencies? (1) What kind of data would you need to collect about
a population to establish that it is in a stable equilibrium in
allele frequencies, as opposed to a neutral one? (1) Describe
one population genetic scenario that is
expected to cause a population to reach a stable equilibrium in
allele frequencies such that more than one allele is present in the
population. (1) Give an example of that scenario, (1) and explain
which population genetic mechanisms are operating and how they lead
to a stable equilibrium. (1)
