[Answer] True or false? The Hardy-Weinberg model makes the following assumptions: no selection at the gene in question; no genetic drift; no gene flow; no mutation; random mating.

In population genetics the Hardy–Weinberg principle also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium model theorem or law states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. These influences include genetic drift mate choice assortative mating natural selection sexual selection …

Yes lack of gene flow /migration is a prerequisite for HWP. I have added it. Thanks for pointing it out. — Lexor 05:05 5 Jul 2003 (UTC) Move. Hi. Moved to Hardy–Weinberg principle on the basis that this should be an em dash because the Hardy and Weinberg were unconnected.

In the process of substitution a previously non-existent allele arises by mutation and undergoes fixation by spreading through the population by random genetic drift or positive selection . Once the frequency of the allele is at 1…
