The phenotype frequency does not change
Anais Lang
In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation. This indicates that no evolutionary forces, such as natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, or mutation, are acting on the population. In essence, the population is stable and not evolving.

the distribution of alleles does not change from one generation to the next. (just took the test)

∙ 10y agoIt means there is no change in the population from one generation to the next.
BottleneckThat is a condition of the Hardy-Weinberg law and the population is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium , but it is an idealization that never happens in nature.
Mutation is the factor that does not take a population out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The other factors that can disrupt equilibrium are natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and non-random mating.
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a null hypothesis that describes a non-evolving population where allele frequencies remain constant over generations. When a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it indicates that factors such as mutation, selection, gene flow, or genetic drift are influencing allele frequencies, leading to evolutionary change. Thus, deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be an indicator of evolution occurring in a population.
One condition for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a large population size. This ensures that genetic drift, which is the random change in allele frequencies, has minimal effect on the gene pool.
One condition for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a large population size, to prevent genetic drift from causing allele frequency changes.
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
A large population residing on an isolated island is more likely to reach Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Allele frequency is stable

Yes it is obtainable in plant population
If a new allele appears in a population, the Hardy-Weinberg formula cannot be used. This is because there is now no equilibrium.
Mutation is the factor that does not take a population out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The other factors that can disrupt equilibrium are natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and non-random mating.
Mutations introduce new genetic variation into a population, which can disrupt the balance of allele frequencies required for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If a mutation increases the frequency of a particular allele, it can lead to deviations from the expected genotype frequencies under the 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
