Question

Hardy-Weinberg pointed out that the original proportions of the genotypes in a population would remain constant from generation to generation if certain assumptions are met. Which one of the following is not a Hardy-Weinberg condition?

a. The population is very large.
b. No gene flow occurs.
c. No selection occurs.
d. Random mating occurs.
e. No polymorphic loci exist in the population.

Answer 1

E. No polymorphic loci exist in the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of Harley Weinberg's postulation can be that of gene flow simply defined as the movement of genes from one population to another, can take place by migration.

Also, another postulation of his could be the random genetic drift in a population is similar to inbreeding and stratification, in that its effect on the population is a reduction in the number of heterozygotes and an increase in the number of homozygotes.

When the population size is drastically reduced, the genetic drift is known as a founder effect. Examples of this effect could be a new colonization by a small subset of a population or environmental disasters such as plague and famine) abound in history. The founder effect is likely to explain the relatively high frequency of certain diseases in some ethnic groups.
