Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is NOT an assumption required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Explanation: Hardy-Weinberg states that for a population to be in equilibrium, it must not be experiencing migration, genetic drift, mutation, or selection. By this definition, population size cannot fluctuate.
Detailed explanation-2: -It does not specifically selection for traits that are fit for the environment. Hence, answer is “Genetic drift"
Detailed explanation-3: -There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection. If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population may evolve for that gene (the gene’s allele frequencies may change).
