A population experiencing no evolution by natural selection is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Five conditions/assumptions must be met to consider a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Violation of any of the 5 assumption either results in a change in frequency of the genotypic frequency, allelic frequency, or both.
In an original, well researched and organized essay (of appropriate academic level: 3000 level University) demonstrate your understanding of microevolution and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium by describing the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium theory, the 5 assumptions necessary for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium and the impact each assumption has on a population should it not be met (genotypic/allelic frequencies). What is the significance?

Introduction
Microevolution is the change in gene frequencies within a population over time. This process is driven by natural selection, genetic drift, appeared first on essay insights.
