Enumerate three most characteristic crit | Class 12 Biology Chapter Evolution, Evolution NCERT Solutions

Mendelian population consists of individuals that shares a common gene pool when crossed with each other and are characterized by equal survival of all genotypes. Three most important characteristics criteria for designating a Mendelian population are as follows:

1. Population should be in the large extent. A small population is characterized by free genetic exchange whereas genetic exchange is restricted up to an extent in the large population.
2. The intra-specific Mendelian population maintain more or less distinct gene pools this is as a rule, separated in space. Two Mendelian population may or may not share similar gene pools. There should be free flow of genetic materials that will be ensured through the sexual selection.
3. There should be no migration in the Mendelian population.
