The Hardy-Weinberg Principle is that genetic frequencies in a population?

A.)Will remain stable from generation to generation

B.)Will always be changing

C.)Will not be affected by environmental changes

D.)Are always in a 3:1 ratio

Verified Answer :

A, will remain stable from generation to generation. I hope this helps.

Answer : The correct answer is -

A.)Will remain stable from generation to generation.

According to Hardy-Weinberg Principle, the frequency of allele and genotype in a particular population remains stable/constant from generation to generation (if evolutionary influences are not present).

There are following assumptions of this principle -

1) Large size of population.

2) There should be no gene flow between populations (either due to migration or gamete transfer).

3) There should be no mutations in the population.

4) Random mating should occur between individuals.

5) No natural selection should operate on the population.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.
