NEET 2024, Biology Q54: Theories of Evolution

NEET2024Biology
Q.

Which one of the following factors will not affect the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

  1. A

    Gene migrations

  2. B

    Constant gene pool

  3. C

    Genetic recombination

  4. D

    Genetic drift

Solution

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium holds when the gene pool is constant. The five factors that disturb equilibrium are: gene migration (gene flow), genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination, and natural selection. A constant gene pool itself does not disturb the equilibrium — it is the very condition of equilibrium.
