Question

2. Is it common for natural populations to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to Hardy Weinberg, the gene and allele frequencies for a population should ideally remain unchanged (stable) over generations. However, assumptions by Hardy Weinberg for a population to be at equilibrium can hardly be held true, naturally. This is because;

1. There is always some form of immigration and emigration within a population
2. A population can hardly be infinitely large
3. Mutations do occur in populations
4. In some occasions, mating within the population may not be random
5. Natural selection is always at play within populations
