Which of the following statements are true about a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
|
|
The population is quite small
|
|
|
Gene flow between the population and surround populations does not occur
|
|
|
Natural selection is not occurring
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Correct answer: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that there is random mating, no immigration/emigration, and that there are no mutations.
Detailed explanation-2: -a population undergoing natural selection. Correct answer is option (d). Without evolutionary impacts, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium demonstrates the constant of gene frequency across time in a generation to generation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
