Question
which population characteristic is a requirement of hardy-weinberg equilibrium? small population size medium population size large population size
The Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium has several assumptions. One of the key assumptions is that the population size is large (effectively infinite) to minimize the effects of genetic drift. A small or medium population size would be more likely to experience genetic drift, which disrupts the equilibrium. So the population characteristic required for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium is a large population size.
