1. REVIEW THE Hardy Weinberg Assumptions and how to use H-W to determine if a population is evolving (allele frequency changes) 

1. Mutations must not occur to introduce new alleles to the population.
2. No gene flow can occur to increase variability in the gene pool.
3. A very large population size is required to ensure allele frequency is not changed through genetic drift.
4. Mating must be random in the population.
5. Natural selection must not occur to alter gene frequencies.
