A scientist attempts to maintain a population of pea plants in a "non-evolving state" by trying to simulate the conditions required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. He places the plants in a contained area under controlled conditions (no factors limiting) and makes certain that all crosses conducted are completely random. Which conditions for Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium have NOT been met?
no gene flow
no net mutations
random mating
no natural selection
( 1 point)
I and II
II and IV
II only
IV only
The conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that have not been met in this scenario are:
- no gene flow
- no net mutations
Therefore, the correct answer is:
I and II
