Assertion: In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles remains constant over generations.
Reason: The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is based on the assumption that there is no mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection, and random mating.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
one of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is that the frequency of alleles will remain constant over generations. The reason is also correct, as the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is indeed based on the assumption that there is no mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection, and random mating. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is based on the assumption that the population is in genetic equilibrium, which means that the frequency of alleles and genotypes will remain constant over generations. This is only possible when certain conditions are met, such as no mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection, and random mating. Therefore, the assertion is correct. The reason is also correct, as these assumptions are the basis of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
