Do population geneticists use the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to determine whether evolution is occurring at a given locus?

Yes. This answer is TRUE. (I am an Anthropology Grad student).


What is it called when a population is not evolving?

Which population is most likely to be in Hardy-equilibrium?

Immigration of individuals to a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium will NOT upset the equilibrium if?

The immigrating individuals do not at all interact with the pre-existing population in any way.


If a new allele appears in the population the Hardy Weinberg formula?

If a new allele appears in a population, the Hardy-Weinberg formula cannot be used. This is because there is now no equilibrium.


What must be true for hardy Weinberg equilibrium?

No disruptive circumstances must be present in random mating in a population for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur. Mating must happen randomly. No allele can give an advantage
