Question

which of the following conditions is necessary to maintain the hardy - weinberg equilibrium? multiple choice sexual selection mutations gene flow genetic drift random mating

Explanation:

The Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium has several assumptions including no mutation, no gene flow, no natural selection (including sexual selection), a large population size to avoid genetic drift, and random mating. Random mating is one of the necessary conditions to maintain this equilibrium as it ensures that allele frequencies remain constant from generation to generation under the specified ideal conditions. The other options (sexual selection, mutations, gene flow, genetic drift) all act as forces that can disrupt the equilibrium.

Answer:

random mating
