Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

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



  2. Devin on December 26, 2021 at 2:42 pm

    Thank you, Amoeba Sisters! Made it simple to understand.



  3. STUDY SMART on December 26, 2021 at 2:42 pm

    100% better than my boring irritating bio teacher



  4. luckey pradhan on December 26, 2021 at 2:43 pm

    👍



  5. Sparkle_Lover_365 on December 26, 2021 at 2:46 pm

    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"?



  6. Devadarsh on December 26, 2021 at 2:48 pm

    Your voice is great😂



  7. Zynex on December 26, 2021 at 2:48 pm

  9. Vanshika's Maze on December 26, 2021 at 2:49 pm

    Accent is somewhat difficult 😔
    Otherwise good explanation



  10. Hannah Brewer on December 26, 2021 at 2:52 pm

    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.



  11. Luiz Fellipe on December 26, 2021 at 2:55 pm

    Loved this video <3
    Your voice is so cute

  15. Yuvshenka Osea on December 26, 2021 at 2:58 pm

    I will always love you, Amoeba Sisters! Thank you for helping hopeless students like me understand Biology <3



  16. kupo376 on December 26, 2021 at 3:00 pm

    so frequency is just what the big numbers are to equal 1? why does it have to equal 1?



  17. Froggo🧃 on December 26, 2021 at 3:01 pm

    I just clicked because there were frogs



  18. I want cheesecake on December 26, 2021 at 3:02 pm

    I wish my school teacher shows this vid at school to all the students
    But she is very -_-



  19. anchika purwar on December 26, 2021 at 3:04 pm

    Really amazing explanation in a funny( cartoons) way



  20. jackeroo75 on December 26, 2021 at 3:04 pm

    FYI: p and q are the main variables in statistics.



  21. Luke Jacobs on December 26, 2021 at 3:07 pm

    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



  22. Jovan on December 26, 2021 at 3:08 pm

    I LOVE U AMEBA SISTERS, HOPE UR HAVING A GOOD DAY ♥♥♥



  23. Maria Sanchez Menjivar on December 26, 2021 at 3:08 pm

    Vowwww 💚



  37. i don't exist on December 26, 2021 at 3:24 pm

    This channel has been a life saver! 🙂



  38. Rose Hundai on December 26, 2021 at 3:25 pm

    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.



  39. Aditya Bhamare on December 26, 2021 at 3:26 pm

    YOU TWO ARE THE DOPEEST ! …lots of love from India.



  40. Lily on December 26, 2021 at 3:27 pm

    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 😁



  45. Luan Mazzeo on December 26, 2021 at 3:28 pm

    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!



  46. Rup Nyach on December 26, 2021 at 3:28 pm

    they really be getting me thru school 😭😭



  47. TheJadedDragonArts on December 26, 2021 at 3:33 pm

    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



  48. biologyphobic on December 26, 2021 at 3:34 pm

    not my kinda thing but i appreciate ur effort thank you aomba broithers



  49. Kal Yan on December 26, 2021 at 3:37 pm
