There are five conditions which must be met for the Hardy-Weinberg
Equilibrium. They are; no mutations, random mating, no natural selection, extremely
large population size, and no gene flow. The first condition, no mutations, is saying that
there needs to be no changes in even one piece of gene from the population. Next,
random mating, means that no organism chooses who they mate with it is all just random.
Then, no natural selection indicates that no matter what the inherited traits are no one
individual survives longer than another. An extremely large population size ensures that
the population can be statistically sound and that the variation can be overpowered if
need be, which if it were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium that wouldn’t be needed.
Lastly, no gene flow just further ensures that there are no mutations because there is no
movement of alleles among the populations. A population is not likely to be in HardyWeinberg Equilibrium because there is always something changing due to natural
selection in order to maintain life of a species within the population.
This question has changed the way that I think about biology now, because before
I learned about evolution and all the theories that go along with it, I thought that it was
just a hoax and not true. It seems like it could be something strange and not really real,
but the evidence is pointing towards it most likely happening although it still cannot be
proven.
