Five conditions are required to maintain the Hardy–Weinbergequilibrium in a population.
A. Closed population
B. Large population
C. Random mating
D. No net mutations
E. No natural selection
If any of these conditions is not being met, the allele frequenciesin the population will change, leading to microevolution in thepopulation.
Match each of the following scenarios to the Hardy–Weinbergcondition that is not being met:
                 Anincrease in antibiotic resistance among bacteria exposed toantibiotics occurs.
                 Cariboufrom one herd move to a new area and breed with caribou of acompletely different herd.
                 Amongeastern bluebirds, more brightly coloured males breed with morebrightly coloured females.
                 Due tooverhunting, there is little genetic diversity in the currentpopulation of bearded vultures, which have all descended from apopulation of only 36 birds.
