Which of the following phenomena would violate the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a population?
A
Large population size
B
Natural selection
C
Random mating
D
No mutation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: It describes a population that is not evolving, where allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.
Identify the conditions required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: These include a large population size, random mating, no mutations, no migration, and no natural selection.
Analyze each condition given in the problem: 'Large population size' is a condition that supports Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because it minimizes genetic drift.
Consider 'Random mating': This condition supports Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium by ensuring that allele frequencies do not change due to mate choice.
Evaluate 'Natural selection': This is a process where certain traits become more common in a population due to differential reproductive success, which violates the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium by changing allele frequencies over time.
