violate equilibrium, and lastly, whether the statement will increase or decrease that population’s genetic variation. Corals synchronize spawning to occur on a single night during a particular tidal event, such as a spring tide. On that night individuals release sperm and eggs into the water, which then form zygotes. Larvae are carried off by currents and settle elsewhere. What assumption is this breeding style affecting and what will it do to VG of that coral species?
I need help identifying which assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is most affected, then indicating whether what is being described will act to establish or violate equilibrium, and lastly, whether the statement will increase or decrease that population’s

Assumptions of Hardy Weinberg :
- Large Population
- No genetic drift
- No mutations
- No natural selection
- Random mating
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium which will be affected the most is Genetic drift because it occur in small Population and the alleic frequency doesnot change. As these larvae are carried off by currents and settle elsewhere which occupy large area and causes changes in the alleic frequency hence genetic drift will act to violate equilibrium.
This breeding style completely depends on the currents and wave for the settlement of the larva the area where they settle will decide it's further fate and development for example the temperature of that area in the ocean if they don't get proper temperature they will die extreme of any temperature will course it's death. And secondly is the pollution which affect the Marine life most oil spills, global warming, dumping of garbage, etc affect the pre fertilisation stage of an organism. Different environment therefore affect in different way generating variation among same species leading to sympatric isolation in these way population’s genetic variation( Vg ) of corals increases.
