About Hardy-Weinberg Calculator

The Hardy-Weinberg Calculator solves population genetics problems using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1. Enter any known value (p, q, q², or population counts) and get all allele frequencies, genotype frequencies, and expected population counts with detailed step-by-step explanations.

Every calculation uses deterministic algorithms for guaranteed accuracy.

FAQ

What is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a population where allele and genotype frequencies remain constant across generations in the absence of evolutionary forces like mutation, selection, and genetic drift.

What are the five assumptions of HWE?

The five assumptions are: no mutation, random mating, no natural selection, extremely large population size, and no gene flow (migration).

How do I use this for AP Biology?

Enter the frequency of the homozygous recessive phenotype (q²) from your problem, and the calculator derives all allele and genotype frequencies with step-by-step work suitable for AP Bio free-response questions.
