When migration is happening between 2 populations, can these populations be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
A. No, neither population is in HWE
B. Yes, both populations are in HWE
C. Yes, just one of the populations is in HWE
Answer: A. No, neither population is in HWE.
The hardy.Weinberg equilibrium if a population is not evolving or getting disturbed by any factor like mutation, gene flow, random mating etc the genetic variation will remain constant. If there is a migration between two population then the size of the population changes and also the gene and the mating which will lead to the disturbance in the existing equilibrium and maybe the generation of new equilibrium considering two population as one.
