How does Hardy−Weinberg equation explain genetic equilibrium?

Answer»

Hardy-Weinberg equation is p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. This means that the sum total of all the allelic frequencies is 1. In a diploid, p2 means that the probability an allele AA with a frequency of p appear on both the chromosomes of a diploid individual will be p2 . Similarly of allele aa is q2 , and of Aa is 2pq.
