The tendency of population to remain in ...

The tendency of population to remain in genetic equilibrium may be disturbed by

A

random mating

B

lack of migration

C

lack of mutation

D

lack of random mating

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,allele frequency in a population are stable and constant from generation to generation. In a population , It will remain constant over generation only if the following conditions are met
I. There is no mutation, no gene flow and all mating is random
II. All genotypes reproduce equally well, i.e. no natural selection. But all these conditions rarely occur in nature
