Answer:

The correct answer is - random mating individuals pair by chance, not according to their genotypes or phenotypes.

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium explains that if there are no other evolutionary influences on the population then the frequency of genotype in a specific population remains constant over generations.

The assumptions according to this principle are mention as follow -

-No natural selection.

-no mutation.

-The population size should be large.

-There should be random mating

-No gene flow.

The correct answer is - random mating individuals pair by chance, not according to their genotypes or phenotypes.
