Which of the following is **not** a force that changes allele frequencies (causing evolution)?

  1. Mutation
  2. Natural selection
  3. Genetic drift
  4. Random mating in a large population
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Random mating in a large population

Random mating in a large population (one of Hardy-Weinberg's assumptions) does NOT change allele frequencies. Mutation introduces new alleles selection favours some over others drift randomly fluctuates them gene flow exchanges them. Random mating only redistributes existing alleles among genotypes.
