Hardy–Weinberg calculator

Set the frequency of the dominant allele and see the genotype frequencies p², 2pq and q², and how many carriers there are.

Questions students ask

What is the Hardy–Weinberg equation?

p² + 2pq + q² = 1, with p + q = 1, where p and q are the frequencies of the two alleles.

How do you find the number of carriers?

Take q as the square root of the frequency of the recessive phenotype, then carriers are 2pq.
