Allele Frequency & Hardy-Weinberg Principle — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027In a given population one can find out the frequency of occurrence of alleles of a gene or a locus. This frequency is supposed to remain fixed and even remain the same through generations. Hardy-Weinberg principle stated it using algebraic equations.
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Which are true? 1. Saltation refers to speciation by sudden large mutations. 2. Wings of butterfly and bat are examples of analogy. 3. Hardy–Weinberg law states gene frequencies remain constant across generations. 4. Neanderthals lived between 10,000–2,000 years ago. 5. Fossils provide evidence of extinct life forms like dinosaurs.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — 1, 2, 3, 5 only
Saltation was proposed by Hugo de Vries, wings are analogous, Hardy–Weinberg law predicts equilibrium, fossils confirm extinct life. Neanderthals lived 100,000–40,000 years ago, not 10,000–2,000.
