MCQ
What does the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium indicate in a population?
  • A. Evolution is actively occurring
  • B. Allele frequencies are fluctuating
  • C. No evolution is taking place
  • D. Speciation is happening rapidly
βœ… Correct Answer: C
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a mathematical model of a non-evolving population with stable allele frequencies.
MCQ
Assertion (A): Genetic drift occurs mostly in large populations. Reason (R): In large populations, allele frequency changes by chance are more pronounced.
  • A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C. A is true, but R is false
  • D. A is false, but R is false
βœ… Correct Answer: D
Genetic drift is significant in small, not large populations.

MCQ
Q4. The equation pΒ² + 2pq + qΒ² = 1 represents
  • A. Mendel’s law
  • B. Hardy-Weinberg principle
  • C. mutation equation
  • D. DNA recombination
βœ… Correct Answer: B
This binomial expansion represents genotype frequencies under genetic equilibrium.
MCQ
Q1. The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population
  • A. change every generation
  • B. remain constant over generations
  • C. are unstable and unpredictable
  • D. follow Lamarckian inheritance
βœ… Correct Answer: B
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele frequencies remain constant if no evolutionary forces act.
MCQ
Q8. Movement of genes from one population to another is called
  • A. gene flow
  • B. gene mutation
  • C. gene amplification
  • D. gene linkage
βœ… Correct Answer: A
Gene flow is the migration of genes across populations.
