According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which condition is not required for a population to remain at genetic equilibrium?
1. Random mating must occur.
2. The population must be infinitely large.
3. Migration must occur frequently with other populations.
4. There should be no selection for any of the genotypes.

Assertion (A):  Disturbance in genetic equilibrium, or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be interpreted as resulting in evolution.
Reason (R): This principle says that allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generation.
 
1.  Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
3. (A) is True, (R) is False
4. Both (A) and (R) are False
