The Hardy-Weinberg principle cannot operate if
- A the population is very large
- B frequent mutations occur in the population
- C the population has no chance of interaction with other populations
- D free interbreeding occurs among all members of the population
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) frequent mutations occur in the population
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) frequent mutations occur in the population,
The Hardy-Weinberg principle cannot operate if frequent mutations occur in the population. This principle assumes no mutations, no genetic drift, no gene flow, no natural selection, and random mating. Frequent mutations alter allele frequencies, disrupting equilibrium, while other options do not impact the principle if conditions are met.
