Question

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is known to be affected by gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and

• A. Evolution
• B. Limiting factors
• C. Saltation
• D. Natural selection

Answer 1

The correct option is D Natural selection

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. Some of the major factors which affect the genetic equilibrium and induce the variability in a population are as follows:
(A) Mutations (B) Recombinations during Sexual Reproduction (C) Genetic Drift (D) Gene Migration (Gene Flow) (E) Natural Selection.
