A. The pea plants are mated at random.

B. Both alleles ensure equal survival.

    The Hardy - Weinberg theory states that frequencis of alleles and genotypes will remain constant from generations to generationss without the evolutionary influences. From your choices, the three supports the Hardy - Weinberg equilibrim but letter C does not. There must be no new allele to be produced fro the mutation of the pea plant.
