Question

Which of the following factor does not affect Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium?

Options

A.Gene migration
B.Natural selection
C.Genetic drift
D.Replication of genetic material

Solution

Sol.(d) [Key Concept: Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium — Disturbing Factors] Replication of genetic material does not affect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The five factors that disturb Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are: gene flow (migration), natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and non-random mating. DNA replication is a normal cellular process that simply copies existing alleles without changing their frequencies.
