Question
hardy-weinberg equilibrium
to have hardy-weinberg equilibrium, the following five factors must be met:
- population must be very large
- no gene flow
- no mutations
- random mating
- no natural selection
if hardy-weinberg equilibrium factors are not met, a population is evolving or changing.
what is equilibrium?
a state where a population is evolving
a state where things arent changing
a state where species are dying out
The Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium implies a non - evolving population. When the five factors for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium are met, the population's allele and genotype frequencies remain constant, meaning things aren't changing. If a population is evolving (option A), it's not in equilibrium. A state where species are dying out (option C) is not related to the concept of equilibrium in the Hardy - Weinberg context.
