Which of the following is not a condition for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A) Absence of gene flow
B) Absence of differential survival among genotypes
C) Random mating of individuals with respect to genotype
D) Absence of genetic drift that would cause chance fluctuations of allele frequencies
E) Small population size

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other four conditions (absence of gene flow, absence of differential survival among genotypes, random mating, and absence of genetic drift) are all necessary for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to hold. E, small population size, can affect allele frequencies but is not a requirement for the equilibrium.
