Question

Which of the following does not belong to the Hardy Weinberg principle?

(a) Frequency remained fixed through generations

(b) Used algebraic equations

(c) Allele frequency varies from species

(d) Gene pool remains a constant

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

Question is from Hardy-Weinberg Principle-2 topic in chapter Evolution of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Allele frequency varies from species

The best I can explain: Allele frequencies does not vary from species to species. In a population, the frequency always remains fixed or constant according to Hardy Weinberg principle. The alleles and total genes in any population remain constant and hence stable.
