The Hardy-Weinberg Equation is used as a “control variable” for evolution: (p * p) + (2*p*q) + (q * q) = 1 p + q = 1 [Mobile:] Click the keybind key instead of the numbers. Click the screen to return home.
p = Dominant Allele Frequency q = Recessive Allele Frequency p*p = Homozygous Dominant Genotype Frequency 2*p*q = Heterozygous Dominant Genotype Frequency q*q = Homozygous Recessive Genotype Frequency (For people who really don’t know, scroll down further) ========================================== > Genotype: A string containing two alleles that dictates a specific trait. (Eye Color) > Allele: A single letter of the genotype (B) > Dominant: represented by a capital letter in the genotype. Only one dominant allele is necessary for its linked trait to show. (B for brown) > Recessive: represented by a lowercase letter in the genotype. Both alleles must be recessive for this trait to show. (b for blue) > Homozygous Dominant: A genotype where both alleles are dominant. (BB is brown) > Homozygous Recessive: A genotype where both alleles are recessive. (bb is blue) > Heterozygous “Dominant”: A genotype where one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. In this case, only the dominant trait shows. (Bb is brown)
