Which of the following is a requirement for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.Immigration must outpace emigration.
B.One allele must provide a benefit.
C.No mutation can take place.
D.The population must be very small.



Answer :

C, If there is mutation , then the population is disrupted. 

The conditions to maintain the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are: no mutation, no gene flow, large population size, random mating, and no natural selection.

The correct answer is C.No mutation can take place.

What are the 5 Hardy-Weinberg rules?

A low rate of mutations would help keep a population in equilibrium. The five assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

  • large population size,
  • no natural selection
  • no mutation rate
  • no genetic drift
  • random mating

What conditions are required for the Hardy-Weinberg model to apply?

No gene flow can occur to increase variability in the gene pool. A very large population size is required to ensure allele frequency is not changed through genetic drift. Mating must be random in the population. Natural selection must not occur to alter gene frequencies.
