Question

According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, difference in the values of measured and expected allelic frequencies indicates all of the following, except

• A. Changes in the gene pool
• B. Disturbance in genetic equilibrium
• C. Extent of evolutionary change
• D. Absence of any kind of evolution

Answer 1

The correct option is D Absence of any kind of evolution

Hardy-Weinberg principle states that a population is said to be in genetic equilibrium if it is not undergoing any kind of evolutionary change. Difference in the values of measured and expected gene frequencies will be present if there is change in the gene pool, disturbance in genetic equilibrium and extent of evolutionary changr.

So, the correct option is 'Absence of any kind of evolution'
