According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. It makes several assumptions which were given below.

$i.$  Random Mating

$ii.$  Sexual Reproduction

$iii.$  Non-overlapping Generations

$iv.$  Occurrence of Natural Selection

$v.$  Small size of population
