A population will not exist in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if:

Options

  1. AIndividuals mate selectively
  2. BThere are no mutation
  3. CThere is no migration
  4. DThe population is large

Correct answer

A. Individuals mate selectively

Step-by-step solution

Mating occurs at random. Mutation does not occur or if it does occur it must reach a state of equilibrium. All the members of the population survive and have equal reproductive rates. A population will not exist in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the individuals mate selec
