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