Answer 2

Natural selection is not a requirement for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (option-c).

• According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, in a large population, genotypic frequency and allelic frequency will remain the same generation to generation when there will be no natural selection, no migration or no gene flow, random mating, no mutation occurred in a large population.
• The absence of migration, means no gene flow hence fulfilling the requirement for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
• Hardy Weinberg equilibrium applies to infinite large population size.
• Random mating also favors Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

• But Natural selection in a population doesn't favor Hardy Weinberg equilibrium as it leads to evolutionary change in that population.
