Question

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, males choose the females best suited to the environment. with random mating, female choose the males best suited to the environment.

Explanation:

Random mating in a population means that every individual has an equal chance of passing on their genes. This is one of the conditions for Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium. When there is non - random mating (such as sexual selection where one sex chooses mates based on certain traits), it can disrupt the allele and genotype frequencies. But with random mating, there is no such bias in mate selection that would change the genetic makeup of the population in a way that violates the Hardy - Weinberg assumptions.

Answer:

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