This condition is known as genetic equilibrium

In genetic equilibrium, there are a number of assumptions that are made in order to obtain the conditions that are described. Note that these assumptions cannot exist in real life and genetic equilibrium is a hypothetical state.

-No gene mutation

-Large population

-No immigration/emigration

-No natural selection

-Random mating

Through these conditions, the occurrence of all phenotypes within an organism's population remains relatively the same.
