Five assumptions should be met to answer the question: 1. Infinite population size (no random drift): We have to assume that there are infinite number of individuals in the population. 2. No allele flow (no migration or negligible migration in or out of the population): There is no individual movement from population to population. 3. No mutation: There is no biochemical changes in DNA that produce new alleles. 4. Random mating: There is no assortative mating, so no individual select mate based on the trait of interest. 5. Non natural selection: The different genotypes of this trait have equal fitness. Also, we have to make sure that there is no genotyping errors in the data. If there is a large departure from HWE, there could be misclassification
