Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is known to be affected by gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and

Options

  1. Aevolution
  2. Blimiting factors
  3. Csaltation
  4. 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 by mutation, migration, genetic drift, recombination, and natural selection. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not effected by evolution, limiting factors, saltation and over prediction So, the correct answer is 'Natural selection'.
