*20 POINTS* Need help ASAP please!

Evolution occurs only when the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are not satisfied. What are the conditions for maintaining Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a population of beetles for evolution? Drag each sentence into the correct box.

Answer: CONDITIONS FOR HARDY

No mutations should appear in the beetle population because new alleles would change the allele frequencies

There should be random mating among beetles

There should be no natural selection on the beetle population

The population of beetles must be large enough so that genetic drift is avoided

There should be no migration of beetles into or out of the population.

CONDITIONS FOR EVOLUTION-

Natural selection favors green beetles

Purple mutants appear among the Beatles

Preferred mates are red, so these individuals reproduce

Large numbers of brown beetles were killed in a forest fire

A significant number of yellow beetles left.

Explanation: I only added about half the sentence of each answer because it’s to long.
