Question:
A population will not exist in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if
A population will not exist in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if
Updated On: Jun 12, 2024
- there is no migration
- the population is large
- individuals mate selectively
- there arc no mutations.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Hardy-Weinberg law states that allele frequencies in a population are stable and remain constant from generation to generation when there is random and non-selective mating. In case of lack of random mating, genetic equilibrium may be disturbed.

Concepts Used:
Evolution
Evolution is a process that occurs in changes in the genetic content of a population over time. Evolutionary change is generally classified into two: microevolution and macroevolution. The process of changes in allele frequencies in a population over time is a microevolutionary process. Three main mechanisms that cause allele frequency change are natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. On the other hand, macroevolution refers to change at or above the level of the species.
