  • relative frequency of alleles or genetic variation will remain unchanged for generations.

Explanation:

  • Example: If there is 1% genetic variability in an organism of first generation ,then the genetic variability in an organism of second generation will also be approx. 1-2% .There will not rapid increase in genetic variations.Mutation will not occur or if occur then it will be at the rate of equilibrium .
