Question

Which among the following initiated study in population genetics and related fields?

• A. Hardy-Weinberg law
• B. Lamarckism
• C. Mechanistic theory of Darwin
• D. Natural theory

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hardy-Weinberg law

The Hardy-Weinberg law initiated the study in population genetics and related fields. It states that an equilibrium of allele frequencies in a gene pool remains in effect in each succeeding generation of a sexually reproducing population if five conditions are met. They are random mating and the absence of mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and selection.

So, the correct option is 'Hardy-Weinberg law'.
