According to Hardy Weinberg Theorem,which one of the following factor cannot change allelic frequency?
Correct answer: B. Random mating
- A. Mutation
- B. Random mating
- C. Selection
- D. Gene flow
Explanation
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by a number of forces, including mutations, natural selection, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, and gene flow. For instance, mutations disrupt the equilibrium of allele frequencies by introducing new alleles into a population.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
