What is the primary assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg principle?

• Mutations occur frequently

• Natural selection is always at work

• The population is infinitely large

• Migration occurs regularly

How does genetic drift affect a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

• It increases genetic variation

• It decreases genetic variation

• It has no effect

• It stabilizes allele frequencies

Which of the following conditions would disrupt Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

• Random mating

• No mutations

• Small population size
