The Hardy-Weinberg principle predicts allele/genotype frequencies when the population is
- A
Highly inbred (frequent mating between close relatives reduces heterozygosity)
- B
Small and isolated (subject to substantial genetic drift and founder effects)
- Ccheck_circle
Not evolving (large, randomly mating, no selection, no migration, no mutation)
- D
Actively evolving (small population with strong directional selection acting on alleles)
Explanation
HW provides the null hypothesis: stable allele frequencies in an idealized non-evolving population.
