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?

  • [AIIMS 2017]

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

If mating is random, population is large and mutation does not occur; then gene frequencies of population from generation to generation remain constant. This was put forwarded by

The natural selection that acts against change in the form and keeps the population constant through the time is
