New genetic variants—that is, new alleles—in a population result from which of the following?
mutations
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
asexual reproduction
directional selection
stabilizing selection

crossing out what I think is wrong, there shouldn't be any sort of equilibrium, and I'm pretty sure asexual reproduction shouldn't really be an answer in the situation.

I'm assuming it would be mutations. wondering if I'm right

mutations youre right

It was right to cross off selections - because I didn't know how the population was before and I doubt I'd be able to know what the selection would end up as?
