Five conditions are required in order for a population to remain at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: 1.A large breeding population 2. Random mating 3. No change in allelic frequency due to mutation 4. No immigration or emigration 5.No natural selection So, random mating maintains equilibrium (does not disturb or affect). Non-random mating inluence it.
