MCQ
Hardy Weinberg law is applicable to:
  • A
    Genetic equilibrium
  • B
    Small population
  • C
    Non-random mating
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

  1. Genetic equilibrium

Explanation:

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.
