p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population
q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population
p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals
q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals
No statements, but a few of the Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Random mating. No gene flow. No natural selection.

Hardy and Weinberg wanted to answer the question of how genetic variation is maintained in a population over time. They developed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle, which describes the expected frequencies of alleles in a population that is not undergoing any evolutionary changes.
the phenotype frequency does not change
The Hardy-Weinberg rule stated that if the frequency of an allele in a population at genetic equilibrium is .45. The frequency of that allele would be .45 in the next generation.
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p & q represent the frequencies for each allele.
The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype.
To determine how allele frequency changes
The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype.
The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype.
p and q
The population is evolving.
The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype.
All organisms must reproduce.
All organisms must reproduce.
The Q is the recessive trait and the P is the dominant trait. Always find Q first when solving Hardy Weinberg equations.
