Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
  • The conditions to maintain the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are no mutation, no gene flow, large population size, random mating, and no natural selection.
  • Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is disturbed by deviation from any of its five conditions.
  • Hence, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by Mutations, Non-random mating and Genetic drift.
  • So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
