According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle,allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. It makes several assumptions which are given below:
$i.$ Random Mating
$ii.$ Sexual Reproduction
$iii.$ Non-overlapping Generations
$iv.$ Occurrence of Natural Selection
$v.$ Small size of population
Identify two assumptions which do not meet the criteria for a population to reach Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.

  • A
    $iv$ and $v$
  • B
    $ii$ and $iv$
  • C
    $iii, iv$ and $v$
  • D
    $i, ii$ and $iii$
