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 |

Genetic drift is :
1. random changes in gene frequency in a population
