MCQ
Hardy Weinberg law is applicable to:
- AGenetic equilibrium
- BSmall population
- CNon-random mating
- DNone of the above
Explanation:
Hardy Weinberg law is applicable to genetic equilibrium. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.

Statement $I$ : Bt toxins are insect group specific and coded by a gene cry $IAc$.
Statement $II$ : Bt toxin exists as inactive protoxin in B. thuringiensis. However, after ingestion by the insect the inactive protoxin gets converted into active form due to acidic $\mathrm{pH}$ of the insect gut.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
