Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population remain constant in the absence of evolutionary forces.The assumptions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium include: $1.$ Large population size.$2.$ Random mating.$3.$ No mutation.$4.$ No gene flow (migration).$5.$ No natural selection.Comparing these with the given list:- $iv.$ Occurrence of natural selection: This violates the principle because natural selection causes changes in allele frequencies.- $v.$ Small size of population: This violates the principle because small populations are subject to genetic drift,which changes allele frequencies.Therefore,$iv$ and $v$ are the conditions that do not meet the criteria for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
