According to the Darwin's theory of evolution, differences between the species occurs due to
The disuse of body structures
The transmission of acquired characteristics
Natural selection
Mutagenic agents
The tendency of population to remain in genetic equilibrium may be disturbed by
Write short note on Hardy - Weinberg principle.
Factor affecting the Hardy-Weinberg principles are
$I.$ gene flow
$II.$ genetic drift
$III.$ mutation
$IV.$ genetic recombination
$V.$ natural selection
The correct combination is
Gene flow occurs through generations. Gene flow can occur across language barriers in humans. If we have a technique of measuring specific allele frequencies in different population of the world, can we not predict human migratory patterns in pre-history and history ? Do you agree or disagree ? Provide explanation to your answer.
According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. It makes several assumptions which were given below.
$i.$ Random Mating
$ii.$ Sexual Reproduction
$iii.$ Non-overlapping Generations
$iv.$ Occurrence of Natural Selection
$v.$ Small size of population
Identify two assumptions which do not meet for a population to reach Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
