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.

The name of the part which stores genetic information in animal cells is cytoskeleton!
Answer:
The gastrointestinal tract comprises of Mouth-Esophagus-Stomach-Small intestine-Colon-Rectum.
Liver, pancreas and gallbladder are solid organs of digestive system.
Explanation:
Digestion is the process involved in the conversion of large complex food molecules into smaller nutrients that can be used by body cells for survival and carry out their function. The digestive system comprises of various subsequent organs that digest the food.
- Digestion starts in mouth where salivary glands digest the carbohydrates.
- The food moves from mouth to stomach through alimentary canal known as esophagus. It includes peristalsis movements.
- The stomach mixes the food with digestive juices and move the chyme to small intestine.
- The small intestine mixes the food with juices secreted from pancreas, liver and intestine and pass it to large intestine.
- The large intestine digest the water content from indigested food and pass the reamining to rectum.
- The rectum store the undigested food and excrete it through anus.
