If the allele or genotype frequencies deviate from the values predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the population is:
A) growing.
B) mutating.
C) migrating.
D) evolving.
E) at equilibrium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium indicates that one or more of the conditions for equilibrium are not met, suggesting that evolutionary forces such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, migration, or non-random mating are at work, causing the population to evolve.
