Question

Hardy and Weinberg independently proposed

• A. Genetic drift
• B. Non-evolving population
• C. Founder effect
• D. Sewall Wright effect

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Non-evolving population

• The genetic variation of natural populations is constantly changing from genetic drift, mutation, migration, and natural and sexual selection.
• The Hardy-Weinberg principle gives scientists a mathematical baseline of a non-evolving population to which they can compare evolving populations.
• Hence, Hardy and Weinberg independently proposed Non-evolving population.
• So, the correct answer is 'Non-evolving population'.
