Choose the incorrect statement regarding Hardy - Weinberg principle.
Choose the incorrect statement regarding Hardy - Weinberg principle.
The correct option is D Genetic recombination helps in maintaining the Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium
Hardy - Weinberg’s principle states that the frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a given population are always constant until and unless there is change in gene pool due to external interferences. External influences include genetic drift, mutation, gene flow and genetic recombination etc.
Genetic recombination happens due to the mating of individuals outside the population, thus disturbing the allelic frequency in a population.
An allele for a character always exists in either heterozygous (dominant) or homozygous (dominant and recessive) condition, and the sum total of both the allele is always one in the case of Hardy - Weinberg principle.
Genetic drift is defined as the change in the frequency of alleles within the population due to random sampling of organisms.
