What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?

What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.


How does selective mating break h-w assumptions?

Assortative mating. Hardy-Weinberg condition, which are never met in the wild, posit random mating. We know that sexual selection does not tolerate random mating and female choice is a great driver of selective change in most organisms.

What type of gene flow allows reduction of variation?

Gene flow that involves the movement of individuals from a high-variation population into a low-variation population can result in a reduction of genetic variation. This can happen if the incoming individuals do not introduce new alleles or if genetic drift and selection reduce the frequency of existing alleles.
