The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a population in genetic equilibrium where allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation. The conditions for this equilibrium include a large population size to prevent genetic drift, random mating to ensure that all individuals have an equal chance of reproducing, no mutations, no migration (gene flow) into or out of the population, and no natural selection acting on the traits under consideration. If these conditions are met, the population's genetic structure will remain stable over time.
