Which one of the following statements presents a condition required for the hardy-weinberg principle to be in effect? random matting: individuals pair by chance, not according to their genotypes or phenotypes. no mutations no gene flow no genetic drift

The correct answer is - random mating individuals pair by chance, not according to their genotypes or phenotypes.

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium explains that if there are no other evolutionary influences on the population then the frequency of genotype in a specific population remains constant over generations.

The assumptions according to this principle are mention as follow -

-No natural selection.  

-no mutation.  

-The population size should be large.  

-There should be random mating  

-No gene flow.

The correct answer is - random mating individuals pair by chance, not according to their genotypes or phenotypes.

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."
