Question

in the early 1900s, Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg were both studying population genetics and created models to explain their ideas. Upon which premise was their research based?

Answer 1

A. allele frequencies do not change unless they are influenced by factors that cause evolution.
B. individuals that have benefical traits are more likely to survive and pass them on.
C. mutations occur at a constant rate and are passed on to offspring at a constant rate.
D. new alleles are introduced to populations through migration and interbreeding

Answer 2

A is the answer.

The Hardy-Weinberg Law holds only when there is:
- no mutation
- no migration
- no natural selection
- a large population
- random mating

Altering any of these conditions causes evolution to occur.

Answer 3

ok thanks:)
