Question

Hardy Weinberg law is applicable to

• A. Genetic equilibrium
• B. Small population
• C. Non-random mating
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Genetic equilibrium

Hardy Weinberg law is applicable to genetic equilibrium. 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. When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
