Agene is a segment of dna that codes for a particular protein. one dna molecule typically contains thousands of genes. so, in order to fit into the nucleus of a cell, dna molecules must be wound around proteins into structures known as

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
