Q

Hardy-Weinberg lab:

5 assumptions for genetic equilibrium in a population

A

1) population must be so large that chance alone cannot significantly alter allele frequencies
2) populations must be isolated so none of its members may leave (emigrate), nor may the population be joined by organisms from elsewhere (immigration)
3) the choice of mates must be entirely random
4) there must be no genetic mutations
5) there must be no natural selection
