Hardy-Weinberg Theorem

This week in AP Biology we talked about the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem. The Hardy-Weinberg Theorem states that allele and genotype frequencies  in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. In Hardy-Weinberg, the numbers you have must add to 1. And there are two different equations  one to find the alleles is p + q = 1 and the other one to find individuals is 2pq+q(squared) = 1. You can also combine the Hardy-Weinberg theorem with the Chi Square equation.

  1. is 2pq+q(squared) = 1.
    p(squared) + 2pq + q(squared) = 1 Like in the pic.
