Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Explore the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equations with The Amoeba Sisters! Learn why this equation can be useful, its five assumptions, and how to calculate genotype and allele frequencies with p and q values! This video does assume the viewer already knows vocabulary such as genotype, phenotype, and alleles from our previous videos.

My god, thank you so much, this was 100000x more clear than the explanation in my biology book
Thank you, Amoeba Sisters! Made it simple to understand.
100% better than my boring irritating bio teacher
👍
So, like you said the dominant gene isn’t always the most common, which I always thought was the case. I thought that dominant" meant it showed up more in populations, meaning it was the most common. So, what makes a gene "dominant"?
Your voice is great😂
Thanks!
OMG my brain is about explode
Accent is somewhat difficult 😔
Otherwise good explanation
If you guys are taking the CSET 217, it includes a lot of questions about this. I was super blindsided, so beware haha! This will help you a lot with that exam. I am still waiting for my results on how I did.
Loved this video <3
Your voice is so cute
Great work!!! keep it up
❤
wow, expalined beautifully
I will always love you, Amoeba Sisters! Thank you for helping hopeless students like me understand Biology <3
so frequency is just what the big numbers are to equal 1? why does it have to equal 1?
I just clicked because there were frogs
I wish my school teacher shows this vid at school to all the students
But she is very -_-
Really amazing explanation in a funny( cartoons) way
FYI: p and q are the main variables in statistics.
So… how do you do this if you have a population size of 746 million? Asking for a friend… the square roots of my alleles do not add up to 1… SOS
I LOVE U AMEBA SISTERS, HOPE UR HAVING A GOOD DAY ♥♥♥
Thank you so much Amoeba Sisters!!! Blessings from Honduras
WTF Math????I regret the bio studie, Nobody told me there will be math !!!help
Two cutesy amoeba’s getting this humanities student through post-grad genetics course
This video is so helpful!!!! Thank you for making it!
Thank you so much Amoeba Sisters💕
this is the first time i found frogs cute..
4:18
Very well explained in short.indeed! 👍👍 Thanks
I am about to fail my bio exam
Very helpful. Thanks 😁
The way you say "little g little g" is so cute. Love your lessons. Thank you!
Thank you🙏
Honestly love this channel so much, whenever I need clarification on my uni work I always click your videos first!!
Vowwww 💚
This channel has been a life saver! 🙂
Wait one second. If you look at around 7:25 you see that we are square rooting the 0.25. but the thing is, that’s just the q value, not q^2. Wouldn’t you have to square the q value first, then go and square root that value? But you already have the q value, so technically you wouldn’t have to square root anything. You could just substitute the q value (0.25) into the second equation.
So basically the first equation should be: p^2+2pq+0.0625, and the last value is 0.25^2.
YOU TWO ARE THE DOPEEST ! …lots of love from India.
we’ve just done this in class !! thanks amoeba sisters 🙂
Good one!👌
Wow i m in big shock how u amazing can explain Biology 🥰🥰🥰
Could you do a Chi Square video?
I’m blown away by the quality of this video 😱 You made it all so clear!! Excited to go binge the rest of your content 😁
I’ve seen a lot of videos talking about Hardy-Weinberg, but your’e the first one to explain what it’s used for. Thanks!
they really be getting me thru school 😭😭
if you watc hthe intro, outro at 9:15, or 2:20 at 0.25 speed, it sounds so sad lol. also a bit after 8:10, the "phew…" in 0.25 speed…. XD
not my kinda thing but i appreciate ur effort thank you aomba broithers
That was very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you.
Great animation! It’s fun to watch. Thank you!
