What are the five factors known to affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Options
- AGene migration, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination, and natural selection
- BGene flow, genetic drift, gene mutation, environmental change, and natural selection
- CGene migration, genetic drift, allele frequency, gene recombination, and genetic diversity
- DGene flow, population size, mutation, genetic recombination, and natural selection
Correct answer
A. Gene migration, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination, and natural selection
Step-by-step solution
Five factors are known to affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These are gene migration or gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and natural selection. When migration of a section of population to another place and population occurs, gene frequencies change in the original as well as in the new population. New genes/alleles are added to the new population and these are lost from the old population. There would be a gene flow if this gene migration happens multiple times. If the same change occurs
