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

Q. According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allelic frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation under which of the two conditions?
(a) Large population size
(b) Non-random mating
(c) There should be differential success among the organisms of the poppulation
(d) There should be no mutation or large scale migrations

Q. Assertion: Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in the absence of disturbing influences, gene frequencies of large populations of sexually reproducing organisms do not change, provided that matings, occur at random.

Reason: The disturbing influences include mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, genetic recombination and natural selection.

Q. 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 are not needed for a population to reach Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

Q. According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and geno-type frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. It makes several assumptions which are given below:

Q.

Gene pool of a population tends to remain stable if the population is large, without large scale mutations, without migration and with
