Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium requires which mating pattern?
A.Random mating
B.Mating only with similar phenotypes
C.No mating at all
D.Mating between species
Explanation
Core Concept
Assortative or inbred mating shifts genotype frequencies away from p², 2pq, q². Random union of gametes is the model's baseline.
