Question

For a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, a characteristic of population is

• A. Founder effect
• B. Heterozygote advantage
• C. Population bottleneck
• D. Random mating
• E. Reproductive isolation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Random mating

The Hardy-Weinberg law states that in an infinitely large, interbreeding population in which mating is random and in which there is no selection, migration, or mutation, gene and genotype frequencies will remain constant from generation to generation.
