POPULATION GENETICS: HOW TO SOLVE HARDY WEINBERG PROBLEMS. Hardy and Weinberg stated that Nature really wants things to be balanced (meaning not changing). However, we know that Nature is constantly changing. So, when one thing in nature changes, it usually leads to a lot of other things having to change. Hardy and Weinberg came up with a hypothesis/idea that explained how populations could grow or change. It had 5 parts to it. In order for a population to be at equilibrium (not changing), it must 1. Have no mutations occur 2. Have nothing moving in (immigration) or moving out (emigration) 3. Have no natural selection 4. Have a large breeding population 5. Random mating Now, you know that nature changes. Lets look at how/why.
