According to the hardy-weinberg principle, if p and q are unchanging in a population, the population is in equilibrium. what type of population does this scenario represent?
a) a population that is exposed to many environmental changes
b) a stable population that will soon experience migration
c) a population with constant allele frequencies
d) a population that is experiencing rapid genetic mutations

The correct answer would be c) A population with constant allele frequencies.

The Hardy-Weinberg population is a population in which the allele frequencies do not change generation over generations that is, it is not evolving.

In order to achieve Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the population must follow conditions like:

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right
