Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Hardy-Weinberg principle describes a theoretical situation in which a population is undergoing no evolutionary change. It states that allele frequencies in a population are stable and constant from generation to generation. There are five factors that affect Hardy-Weinberg Principle. These are-mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, genetic recombination and natural selection pressure.
