MCQ
Hardy and Weinberg proposed a principle for ________ population.
  • A
    Everchanging
  • B
    Unstable
  • C
    Fast changing
  • D
    Non-evolving

Answer

  1. Non-evolving

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg principle assumes that the allele and genotype frequencies in a large population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences like mate choice, mutation, selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and meiotic drive.

Hardy-Weinberg Equations:

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

p + q = 1

{p = frequency of the dominant allele in a population}

{q = frequency of the recessive allele in a population}
