Question

evolution occurs only when the conditions of hardy - weinberg equilibrium are not satisfied. what are the conditions for maintaining hardy - weinberg equilibrium in a population of beetles for evolution? drag each sentence into the correct box. no mutations should appear in the beetle population, because new alleles would change the allele frequencies. there should be random mating among beetles, so that no individuals reproduce at a higher rate and contribute their alleles to the next generation gene pool at a higher frequency. there should be no natural selection on the beetle population that would favor certain alleles to be contributed at higher rates to the next generation. purple mutants appear among the beetles that will change the allele frequencies in the population. the population of beetles must be large enough so that genetic drift is avoided. there should be no migration of beetles into or out of the population so that there is no gene flow that can introduce or remove alleles. preferred mates are red, so these individuals reproduce at a higher rate and contribute their alleles to the next generation gene pool at a higher frequency. natural selection favors green beetles, because they are better camouflaged from predators and therefore their alleles will be contributing at higher rates to the next generation. large numbers of brown beetles were killed in a forest fire and produced genetic drift of certain allele frequencies in the population. a significant number of yellow beetles left, removing alleles through gene flow out of the population. conditions for hardy - weinberg equilibrium conditions for evolution to occur

Explanation:

Answer:

Conditions for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium:

• No mutations should appear in the beetle population, because new alleles would change the allele frequencies.
• There should be random mating among beetles, so that no individuals reproduce at a higher rate and contribute their alleles to the next generation gene pool at a higher frequency.
• There should be no natural selection on the beetle population that would favor certain alleles to be contributed at higher rates to the next generation.
• The population of beetles must be large enough so that genetic drift is avoided.
• There should be no migration of beetles into or out of the population so that there is no gene flow that can introduce or remove alleles.

Conditions for evolution to occur:

• Purple mutants appear among the beetles that will change the allele frequencies in the population.
• Preferred mates are red, so these individuals reproduce at a higher rate and contribute their alleles to the next generation gene pool at a higher frequency.
• Natural selection favors green beetles, because they are better camouflaged from predators and therefore their alleles will be contributing at higher rates to the next generation.
• Large numbers of brown beetles were killed in a forest fire and produced genetic drift of certain allele frequencies in the population.
• A significant number of yellow beetles left, removing alleles through gene flow out of the population.
