Which one of the following explains Hardy-Weinberg's principle?
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population are stable and remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences. The gene pool (total genes and their alleles in a population) remains constant, which is called genetic equilibrium.
The statement regarding carrying capacity is related to logistic population growth.
The statement regarding species richness and area is the species-area relationship proposed by Alexander von Humboldt.
The statement regarding the loss of key species relates to the rivet popper hypothesis or the concept of keystone species.
Answer: The allele frequency and genotypic frequency remain constant from generation to generation.
