Darwin believed that a giraffe has a long neck because:

1. a creator designed it that way

2. catastrophes eliminated short neck forms

3. its ancestors stretched their necks to get food

4. ancestral giraffes with longer necks got more food and left more surviving off-springs.

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 are equal to the number of either of the homozygote

(3) When the number of heterozygotes in a population are equal to the number of either of the homozygote

(4) When the frequency of particular genes or alleles remain constant in a population through generations
