The correct Answer is:
To identify the incorrect statement regarding Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we will analyze the provided statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium**: - Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a theoretical state in which allele frequencies in a population remain constant from generation to generation, provided that certain conditions are met. This means that the gene pool remains stable. **Hint**: Remember that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is about stability in allele frequencies over generations. 2. **Identifying Factors Affecting Equilibrium**: - There are five main factors that can disturb Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: 1. Gene migration (gene flow) 2. Genetic drift 3. Mutation 4. Genetic recombination 5. Natural selection **Hint**: Consider how each of these factors can introduce changes in allele frequencies. 3. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "The allele frequency in our population are stable and constant from generation to generation." - This statement is true as it reflects the essence of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. - **Statement 2**: "Gene migration or gene flow is essential for the maintenance of Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium." - This statement is incorrect. Gene migration disrupts the equilibrium by introducing new alleles and changing allele frequencies. - **Statement 3**: "Evolution occurs when Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is disturbed." - This statement is true. Disturbance in the equilibrium indicates changes in allele frequencies, which is a sign of evolution. - **Statement 4**: "When we measure the frequency, it differs, so if it differs, then the expected value. So this difference tells evolutionary change." - This statement is also true, as differences from expected values indicate evolutionary changes. 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement regarding Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is **Statement 2**: "Gene migration or gene flow is essential for the maintenance of Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **Gene migration or gene flow is essential for the maintenance of Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium.**
