If a population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can predict what will happen to the frequency of recessive alleles in the population?
A) They will be selected against.
B) They will eventually disappear.

the answer is c they will be maintained at the same frequency.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, They will be maintained at the same frequency

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, there is no chance of gen evolution. There are five basic assumptions in this equilibrium , as given below –  

a) There is no scope for mutation

b) There will be no random mating

c) There will be no gene flow

d) The population size is infinite  

e) There will be no selection

Thus considering all the assumptions it is clear that what so ever the allele frequencies are there before the cross, there will no variation in any of the frequencies.
