The factors that affect the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are: (A). Gene migration or gene flow Choose the correct answer from the options given below. |
(A), (B) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only (A), (B), (C) and (D) (B), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (B), (C) and (D) |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B), (C) and (D) The Hardy-Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or law, is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes the conditions under which the frequency of alleles in a population remains constant and stable from generation to generation. Five factors are known to affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These are gene migration or gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and natural selection. Reproduction by itself (if random and without selection) does not disturb the equilibrium — it’s assumed in the Hardy–Weinberg model. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is based on the following assumptions:
