Question

What are the necessary conditions for the modern population genetics or evolution called as Hardy Weinberg Law?

• A. Selective mating and a small population
• B. A high mutation rate and random mating
• C. A low mutation rate and a small population
• D. No migration and large population

Answer 1

The correct option is D No migration and large population

Hardy Weinberg Law states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. The conditions which are favorable for this law are: large population size, no migration, no mutation, random mating and random reproductive success.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
