Question
hardy-weinberg equilibrium requires 5 conditions to be met. which of these is a condition of hardy-weinberg equilibrium even though it is impossible to meet? gene flow must occur. mutations must not occur. many mutations can occur.
The Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium has several conditions. One of them is that mutations must not occur. In reality, mutations are a natural part of the genetic process and constantly happen in populations. So, while it is a condition for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium, it is impossible to meet in real - world populations. Gene flow (movement of genes between populations) is not a condition for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium (the condition is no gene flow). And the statement “Many mutations can occur” is the opposite of what is required for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium.
