Question

All of the following are important factors affecting the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, except __________.
  1. migration
  2. temperature
  3. mating patterns
  4. population size

Open in App
Solution

The correct option is B temperature

Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium is attained when the allele frequencies in a population are not altered for a long time, which proves that population is not evolving. There are certain factors that can affect the equilibrium such as mutations, selective mating, migration and genetic drift.
Temperature is a physical factor that has no direct effect on the frequency of alleles in a gene pool.
