Final answer:

The condition that is NOT required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition that is NOT required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is d. Dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles.

The five conditions that must be met for genetic equilibrium to occur are:

  1. No mutation (change) in the DNA sequence.
  2. No migration (moving into or out of a population).
  3. A very large population size.
  4. Random mating.
  5. No natural selection.
