According to hardly-Weinberg equilibrium, the allelic frequecies in a population will remain constant from generation under which of these two conditions?
I.Large population size
II.Non-random mating
III. There should be differential success among the organisms of the population
IV. There should be no mutations or large scale migrations

A

I and III

B

I and IV

C

I and II

D

II and III

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,allele frequency in a population will remain constant from generation to generation if the population size is large, random mating occurs and selection mutation and migration do not occur

In which condition gene pool/allelic frequency in population remains constant from generation to generation :-

Asserton : According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generations. Reason : Disturbance in genetic equilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium would be interpreted as resulting in evolution

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. It makes several assumptions which were given below. i. Random Mating ii. Sexual Reproduction iii. Non-overlapping Generations iv. Occurrence of Natural Selection v. Small size of population.

Assertion Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not applicable for large population size Reason Non-random mating is necessory for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

In the absence of which of the following the gene frequencies in a Mendelian population ramain constant generation after generation I. Photosynthesis and respiration II. Selection and mutation III. Growth and development IV. Migration and random drift

Assertion Mating in most natural population is random Reason Hardly-Weinberg equilibrium is successful in non-random population

If mating is random, population is large and mutation does not occur, then gene frequencies of population from generation to generation remain constant. This was put forwarded by
