Question

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

Options

• Gene migrations

• Constant gene pool

• Genetic recombination

• Genetic drift

Answer 1

Constant gene pool

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is known to be influenced by five things. These include natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination, and gene migration or flow. The population will be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, or it won’t have an impact if the gene pool stays constant, which means that allele frequencies won’t differ.
