  • Hardy Weinberg Explains Evolution With Mathematics

    The mathematical equation known as the Hardy-Weinberg equation is: p² + 2pq + q² = 1 Where: p=frequency of the dominant allele for a given trait q=requency of the recessive allele for a given trait So: p^2 is the frequency for homozygous dominant

  • Hardy Weinberg law

    Therefore, we conclude that the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Hardy Weinberg law is depicted.

  • calculate the genotype frequencies

    The equation for Hardy Weinberg is: p2 +2pq + q2 = 1. In this equation p represents the percentage of the dominant allele (A) and q is the percentage of the recessive allele (a).
