Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) is a null model of the relationship between allele and genotype frequencies, both within and between generations, under assumptions of no mutation, no migration, no selection, random mating, and infinite population size.
What are the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? large populations, no genetic drift, no natural selection/mutation or migration, no assortative mating /sexual selection or inbreeding.
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.
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires no immigration or emigration, a large population, random mating, and no spontaneous mutations (all of which are virtually unavoidable in nature).
5 Conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Isolated population. large population. vary population. random mating. every individual has equal chance to survive; no natural selection.
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: the condition in which both allele and genotype frequencies in a population remain constant from generation to generation unless specific disturbances occur.
Selection, mutation, migration, and genetic drift are the mechanisms that effect changes in allele frequencies, and when one or more of these forces are acting, the population violates Hardy-Weinberg assumptions, and evolution occurs.
The 5 factors are – gene flow, mutation, genetic drift, genetic recombination and natural selection.
p2+q2+2pq=0.
It does not specifically selection for traits that are fit for the environment. Hence, answer is "Genetic drift"
Answer and Explanation: The condition that would be sufficient for the Hardy-Weinberg equation to accurately predict genotype frequencies from allele frequencies p+q=1 p + q = 1 is b) The population is not evolving due to any of the conditions that disrupt Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
