What is genetic equilibrium?
1. | When all the alleles of a gene are present in a population in equal frequencies |
2. | When the number of heterozygotes in a population is equal to the number of either of the homozygote. |
3. | When the number of heterozygotes in a population is equal to the number of either of the homozygote. |
4. | When the frequency of particular genes or alleles remains constant in a population through generations |

2. | the primeval Earth was in a molten state |
3. | the primeval Earth atmosphere was reducing rather than oxidizing |
4. | plenty of energy sources were available for chemical reactions to occur |

Genetic drift is :
1. random changes in gene frequency in a population
2. generational fluctuations in gene frequencies that produce no effect
3. changes due to interbreeding with other species populations
4. the effect of mutations as they spread through neighbouring populations

The theory of spontaneous generation stated that:
1. | life arose from living forms only |
2. | life can arise from both living and non-living |
3. | life can arise from non-living things only |
4. | life arises spontaneously, neither from the living nor from the non-living |
