The Hardy Weinberg principle requires 5 rules to be followed. Which one is NOT a rule of Hardy Weinberg?
|
|
NO Mutation
|
|
|
NO natural selection
|
|
|
Small population size
|
|
|
NO migration

|
|
Isolated population

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection. If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population may evolve for that gene (the gene’s allele frequencies may change).
Detailed explanation-2: -While, genetic drift occurs in small size population. Genetic drift is a type of evolution that is not necessarily adaptive. It does not specifically selection for traits that are fit for the environment. Hence, answer is “Genetic drift"
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘The population is small’
