Which of the following populations is in genetic equilibrium?

AAA: 0.20; Aa: 0.60; aa: 0.20
BAA: 0.25; Aa: 0.50; aa: 0.25
CAA: 0.30; Aa: 0.50; aa: 0.20
DAA: 0.50; Aa: 0; aa: 0.50

Correct answer: B. AA: 0.25; Aa: 0.50; aa: 0.25

A population is in genetic equilibrium if the frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from one generation to another, as described by the Hardy-Weinberg principle. The given genotype frequencies for option B (AA: 0.25; Aa: 0.50; aa: 0.25) satisfy this condition.
