Which one of the following statements presents a condition of the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
A. Gene flow is present.
B. Genetic drift occurs.
C. Random mating occurs.
D.Mutations are present.
The statement in the given question that presents a condition of the Hardy-Weinberg principle is that random mating occurs. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "C".
There are definitely certain
conditions under which the Hardy- Weinberg principle occurs and they are when
there is no gene flow, no mutations happen, no generic drift occurs and random
mating occurs. This principle also states a very important aspect and it is
that genotype and allele frequencies will always remain constant from one
generation to another if there is absence of other evolutionary inflrnce.
