Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tells that the variation in genetics present in a certain population will remain constant in the absence of any disturbing events from one generation to another. Conditions that are not affecting this principle are natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. These forces if present in a population will affect the equilibrium which is being maintained by this principle. and will eventually lead to an evolution. Natural selection is present when the organism adapt and change. Genetic drift is present when there are variants forms of genes. Mutation is present when there are permanent changes in the DNA sequence. These processes should be absent in order to mantain the principle of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
