Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?

• Small population size

• No mutation

• Random mating

• No natural selection

Which assumption of Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is violated if frogs migrate into a population?

• No selection

• No mutation

Why is Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium considered unrealistic in nature?

• Because populations are too small

• Because mutations never occur

• Because evolutionary forces are always acting on populations

• Because allele frequencies always equal 1
