Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is false. Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium the recessive phenotypes are not eliminated as allele frequencies for a gene would remain consistent in each generation.

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: -It does not specifically selection for traits that are fit for the environment. Hence, answer is “Genetic drift"

Detailed explanation-4: -If the allele frequencies change from the original frequencies after one cycle of random mating, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and evolution has occurred within the population.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: To meet Hardy-Weinberg criteria, a population must be very large (preferably infinite) and exhibit no mutation, no net migration, no natural selection, and no non-random mating.
