Question

In which of the following condition, the genetic equilibrium will not be hampered for a species?

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

D

Lack of random mating

The Hardy-Weinberg principle provides the mathematical framework for genetic equilibrium. Genetic equilibrium describes the condition of an allele or genotype in a gene pool (such as a population) where the frequency does not change from generation to generation.

Genetic equilibrium describes a theoretical state that is the basis for determining whether and in what ways populations may deviate from it.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by a number of forces, including mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, genetic drift, and gene flow (immigration, emigration, or migration).

Hence, the lack of random mating will lead to disturbance in genetic equilibrium.
