Enumerate three most characteristic criteria for designating a Mendelian population.

The characteristic criteria for designating a Mendelian population are as follows:

i. Population must be sufficiently large. The population to be selected as Mendelian’s population should be very large so that experiments can be done easily.

ii. Population should have potential for free flow of genetic materials is ensured through sexual reproduction. Here genetic material should be present among the individuals of the population to be considered as Mendelian’s population.

iii. There should be negligible or nil migration in the population.
