Question

1. In light of the fact that the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle are unrealistic (no mutation, no selection, etc.), how can the principle be useful to population geneticists?

Answer 1

Explanation:- Hardy weinberg modep presents a hypothetical situation of ko change .It is a fact that population does not change if certain conditions are not met. We can measure and analyse change in population or in other words thisnlaw suggests whether population is evolving or not. This model can be used to testify hypothesis about gene pool and evolutionary forces that work on them. It can be used to calculate frequencies of specific alleles and specific genotypes such as deleterious recessive allele in population. Thus evolution can be measured or quantified with the help of this law .
