When it comes to population evolution and genetics, we cannot fail to cite the Hardy-Weinberg principle which emphasizes that if evolutionary factors such as natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic oscillation do not act on a particular population, the frequencies genotypic proportions will remain constant.
The five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:
- Large-scale breeding population: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is important that this population is large, as small populations favor genetic drift (unanticipated fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to another).
- Random mating: In order for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur, it is necessary that the mating occur at random, with no preference for certain groups within the population. In this case, we say that the population is in panmixia, that is, they all mate at random.
- No mutations: Mutations alter the total alleles present in a population (gene pool). Therefore, in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium population, no mutations should occur.
- No gene flow: When there is gene flow due to migration or immigration of individuals, some genes may be included or excluded from the population. Thus, in an equilibrium situation, no gene flow occurs.
- Lack of natural selection: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection must not be acting on it. If natural selection acts, some genotypes will be selected, modifying the allelic frequencies of the population.

Answer:
Water is a liquid. Water is not wet BECAUSE something is only wet when water is on that object.
Explanation:
For example, there is water is a glass cup, and then the glass cup spills onto the table, causing the table to be wet, BUT you can remove that water from the table with some paper towels or a rag. Therefore, the table is no longer wet. Or when you're out in the rain and it gets on your clothes and/or hair, then your clothes and/or hair is WET.
When you put water onto water, it's an addition of water, you don't say it's wet or wetter.
Now, let me further prove my point with a different element: Fire. Fire burns things, right? So, when fire is on an object, then that object is burned. And when you add fire to fire, it causes more fire; fire does not burn itself.
Therefore, water is NOT wet. Wet is an adjective to describe an object that has been touched by a liquid, in this case, water.
So, yeah, enjoy the rest of your day. I'm sure some would like to argue my point. Go ahead.
