Factor affecting the Hardy-Weinberg principlesare
$(I)$ Gene flow ;
$(II)$ Genetic drift
$(III)$ Mutation
$(IV)$ Genetic recombination
$(V)$ Natural selection
The correct combination is
$I$ and $II$
$II, III$ and $IV$
$III, IV$ and $V$
$I, II, III, IV$ and $V$
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not affected by which of the following factors?
Write short note on Hardy - Weinberg principle.
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?
Among the five factors that are known to affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, three factors are gene flow, genetic drift and genetic recombination. What are the other two factors ?
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.
