MCQ
Hardy $-$ Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by :
A
Mutations
B
Non $-$ random mating
C
Genetic drift
✓
All of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
The conditions to maintain the Hardy $-$ Weinberg equilibrium are no mutation, no gene flow, large population size, random mating, and no natural selection.
Hardy $-$ Weinberg equilibrium is disturbed by deviation from any of its five conditions.
Hence, Hardy $-$ Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by Mutations,
Non $-$random mating and Genetic drift.
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
