Question

for one, it is highly unlikely that a population would experience no gene flow, or individuals moving into or out of the population. second, mutations cannot be controlled and are happening all the time. it is impossible to prevent mutations in all the dna in a population, especially a very large population, which is also required for hardy - weinberg equilibrium. third, random mating does not happen. individuals choose their mates based on any number of characteristics. finally, natural selection is always happening in an ecosystem. it cannot be prevented. please refer to the passage to help you answer the problem. how does random mating keep a population in hardy - weinberg equilibrium? with random mating, every individual has an equal chance of passing on their genes. with random mating, female choose the males best suited to the environment. with random mating, males choose the females best suited to the environment.

Explanation:

In Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium, random mating ensures no preferential selection of mates based on traits. This means all individuals have an equal probability of contributing their genes to the next generation, maintaining allele frequencies.

Answer:

A. With random mating, every individual has an equal chance of passing on their genes.
