Solve & explain briefly
A population will not exist in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if
(1) The population is large
(2) Individuals mate selectively
(3) There are no mutations
(4) There is no migration

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query


The correct option is (2).

The Heidy Weinberg law which states that allele frequencies and phenotype in a population are stable and remain constant from generation to generation is applicable only when there is no mutation, no genetic drift, no gene flow (migration), no genetic recombination, large population size and no natural selection.

The selective mating among individuals results in mutation and natural selection, hence shifting of Hardy -Weinberg equillibrium of population.

Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
