✓
Genetic equilibrium
B
Small population
C
Non$-$random mating
D
None of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: 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.
