One of the conditions that must be met for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the absence of mutations in a population. Mutations are permanent changes in the gene sequence of DNA. These changes alter genes and alleles leading to genetic variation in a population.Mutations may impact individual genes or entire chromosomes.
Explanation:
When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it is not evolving, and allele frequencies will stay the same across generations.They are mutation, non-random mating, gene flow, finite population size (genetic drift), and natural selection.
