Some of the conditions that must be met for a population or an allele to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

1. The population must be very large.

2. There must be no migration and population must be isolated.

3. There must be no mutations.

4. There must be random mating, which means there are no mating preferences.


So, a population will not be at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium if it is small, or there are mutations, which is not mentioned, but mutations are expected to occur. Also, although there is a large mountain, skunks can migrate to some other area of a woodland. So, probable mutations and migrations suggest that the population is not at <span>Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.</span>

Alina [70]

Answer:

True. This is the case where an invasive species has reduced the genetic diversity of indigenous species.

Explanation:

  • An invasive species is an exotic, foreign species that takes over a specific habitat or ecosystem and destabilizes it.
  • Invasive species disrupt the food chains of an ecosystem which may lead to increase in populations of some species while reducing others.
  • Invasive species compete with indigenous species for food, shelter and mates. As the indigenous species cannot reproduce properly, a reduction in their genetic diversity is the direct result.
