hardy weinberg

Explain in your own words how nonrandom mating disrupt the hardy-weinberg equilibrium

alters genotype frequencies in a population. When individuals choose mates based on specific traits ,certain alleles become more concentrated, leading to increased homozygosity or specific trait selection 

Explain in your own words how mutation disrupt the hardy-weinberg equilibrium

introduced new alleles to the gene population creating genetic variation that was not present before, overtime continuous mutation provides raw material for evolution, preventing a population from remaining genetically stable

Explain in your own words how gene flow disrupt the hardy-weinberg equilibrium

 introduces or removes alleles due to migration. When individuals move between populations and reproduce, they bring new genetic material, altering allele frequencies and increasing genetic diversity. If gene flow occurs frequently, it can prevent populations from diverging into separate species 

Explain in your own words how a finite population disrupt the hardy-weinberg equilibrium

small populations experience random change in allele frequencies, the alleles can become more or less common and can cause loss of genetic diversity and fixation of certain alleles or disappearance of traits 

Explain in your own words how selection disrupt the hardy-weinberg equilibrium

 selection favors certain alleles that provide survival or reproductive advantage. This leads to adaptive evolution, where a population becomes better suited to its environment over time. Because Hardy-Weinberg assumes no selection, any advantage or disadvantage associated with a trait breaks the equilibrium and drives evolutionary change.
