D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Mating in most natural populations is non-random. Sexual selection occurs whenever the presence of one or more inherited chaecteristics increase the likelihood of bringing about siccessful fertilisation of gametes.There are many structural which prevent mating from being random. Hardy-Weinberg equilibriumis successful in random mating large population in which there is no mutation, selection,random drift and gene flow
