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

A Genetic drift
B Gene migration
C Constant gene pool
D Genetic recombination

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Constant gene pool

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct answer is option (\(3\)) as a constant gene pool will not disturb the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Option (\(1\)), (\(2\)) and (\(4\)) will affect the equilibrium leading to evolution.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A,\) containing water (denstity \(=\rho,\) specific heat capactly \(=s\) ), is located In a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ} {C}\). The thickness of the frozen ice layer In this pond, at a certaln Instant Is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of Ice as \({K}\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as \(L\), the rate of Increase of the thickness of ice layer, at this instant would be given by
