✓
Answer
Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and gene frequencies in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next if certain conditions are kept constant. These conditions are :
(i) Population is large
(ii) Random mating
(iii) Absence of mutation
(iv) All members in a population are living and reproduction rate is constant.
Two factors that affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are :
(i) Mutations, (ii) Gene Migration.
(i) Population is large
