To be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, a population must be
|
|
very small, have random mating, no gene flow, no mutations, no natural selection.
|
|
|
very large, have random mating, high gene flow, many mutations, natural selection
|
|
|
small, have nonrandom mating, no gene flow, many mutations, no natural selection
|
|
|
very large, have random mating, no gene flow, no mutations, no natural selection
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To know if a population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium scientists have to observe at least two generations. If the allele frequencies are the same for both generations then the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it is not evolving, and allele frequencies will stay the same across generations. There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Large Population A population must be large enough that chance occurrences cannot significantly change allelic frequencies significantly.
