Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. Hardy-Weinberg principle says that allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generation. 2. The gene pool (total genes and their alleles in a population) remains a constant 3. Sum total of all the allelic frequencies is 1 4. Stability in genetic equilibrium, or Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium, i.e., change of frequenc

Options

  1. AOnly 4 is incorrect
  2. BBoth 1 and 4 are correct
  3. COnly 2 is incorrect
  4. DOnly 3 is incorrect

Correct answer

A. Only 4 is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

In a given population one can find out the frequency of occurrence of alleles of a gene or a locus. This frequency is supposed to remain fixed and even remain the same through generations. Hardy-Weinberg principle stated it using algebraic equations. This principle says that allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generation. The gene pool (total genes and their alleles in a population) remains a constant. This is called genetic equilibrium.
