Given below are two statements.
Statement I Positive and negative assertive mating might result in deviations from Hardy Weinberg equation due to heterozygote deficiency or excess of it, respectively.
Statement II If a population consists of several subpopulation and individuals randomly mate within, but not between subpopulations. Then
homozygous alleles in the overall population will be constant according to the Hardy Weinberg equation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect, it can be corrected as
If a population consists of several subpopulations and individual randomly mate within, but not between subpopulations, then homozygous alleles in the overall population will be observed more frequently than expected by Hardy-Weinberg principle.
