Options
- Aevolution
- Blimiting factors
- Csaltation
- Dnatural selection
Correct answer
D. natural selection
Step-by-step solution
- The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. - When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium. - Any factor, which can disturb the alleles in a population is likely to affect the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. - The alleles in a population can be altered b
