Question

What happens in a population that is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? In Part B. you learned that if a populate is in Hardy-We -berg equilibrium, the allele and genotype frequencies stay the same from one generation to the next. A population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is rot evolving. Five conditions have to be satisfied in order for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: no mutations random mating no natural selection extremely large population size no gone flow If any of these conditions are violated, the population does not stay in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and allele frequencies and genotype frequencies may change from one generation to the next. Explore some potential departures from Hardy Weinberg equilibrium by competing the table below.
