Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a condition for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
A
No mutations
B
Random Mating
C
No natural selection
D
Gene flow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Occurrence of natural selection and small size in population do not meet the criteria for a population to reach Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is: Gene flow.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Hardy-Weinberg model states that a population will remain at genetic equilibrium as long as five conditions are met: (1) No change in the DNA sequence, (2) No migration, (3) A very large population size, (4) Random mating, and (5) No natural selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -12. Mention which is not a necessary condition of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Answer: The Correct answer is Migration of Individuals.
