(a ) Write the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
(b) Explain the three different ways in which natural selection can affect the frequency of a heritable trait in a population shown in the graph given below.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Natural selection can lead to Stabilization (more individuals acquire mean character individuals value), Directional change (more acquire a value other than the mean character character value) or Disruption (more individuals acquire peripheral character value at both ends of the distribution curve).

Assertion : Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in the absence of disturbing influences, gene frequencies of large populations of sexually reproducing organisms do not change , provided that matings occur at random. Reason : The disturbing influences include mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, genetic recombination and natural selection.

According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.

(II) Radii of allowed orbits of electrons are proportional to the principle quantum number. (III) Frequency with which electrons orbit around the nucleus in discrete orbits is inversely proportional to the principle quantum number. (IV) Binding froce with which the elctron is bound to the nuclues increases as it shifts to outer orbits. Selected the correct answer using the codes given below:
