MCQ
Under which condition, Hardy Weinberg's law is violated?
  • A
    Natural selection
  • B
    Mutation
  • C
    Immigration and genetic drift
  • D
    All of the above
✓

Answer

  1. All of the above

Explanation:

The conditions to maintain the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are no mutation, no gene flow, large population size, random mating, and no natural selection.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disrupted by deviations from any of its five main underlying conditions.

Hence, Under which condition, Hardy Weinberg's law is violated Natural selection, Mutation and Immigration and genetic drift.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
