Bio Help Please!!?
Which of the following conditions would tend to make the Hardy - Weinburg equation more acurate for predicting the gene frequencies of futture generations in a population of asexually reproducing species?
A. Population size
B. Mutations that alter gene pool
C. Little gene flow with surronding population
D. A tendency on the part of females to mate with healtht males
E. The existence of directional selection
Since reproduction is asexual, C and D are not factors. B and E would tend to destabilize the equilibrium. However, for A, if the population size is large that would even out random fluctuations over the large population and would have the effect of making the Hardy-Weinberg predictions more accurate.
This is a nice mathematical site for background:
