The Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium requires a large random mating population (among other factors as previously indicated) to be true. However, in practice, the law has been found to be approximately true for most of the genes in most cross‐pollinated species, except when non‐random mating (e.g. inbreeding and assortative mating – discussed next) occur. Whereas inbreeding is a natural feature of self‐pollinated species, assortative mating can occur when cross‐pollinated species are closely spaced in the field.
