Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not applicable under which of the following conditions? Random mating, large population size, no gene flow into or out of the population, asexual reproduction, or no mutations.
Detailed explanation-3: -What must be true for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? There must be random mating in the population; there must be an infinite population size; and there must be no evolution occurring (no natural selection, no genetic drift, no migration and no mutation).
