For Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur (that is, for evolution not to occur), several conditions that would cause evolution must be absent. Which of the following conditions are required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
mutations occur
B
mating is random
C
the population is large
D
there is no migration into or out of the population
E
the population must relocate to another place or region

Explanation

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires random mating, a large population, and no migration into or out of the population. These conditions help keep allele frequencies from changing. Mutations can introduce new alleles, and relocating can involve migration, so neither is a required condition.
