Question

Which of the following is NOT a condition that must be met for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

a. Large population size
b. No mutations
c. No immigration or emigration
d. Dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles
e. No natural selection

Answer 1

The condition that is NOT required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition that is NOT required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is d. Dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles.

The five conditions that must be met for genetic equilibrium to occur are:

1. No mutation (change) in the DNA sequence.
2. No migration (moving into or out of a population).
3. A very large population size.
4. Random mating.
5. No natural selection.
