What is Adaptive Traits and Fitness?

What is Genetic Variation in a Population?

Write the formula to calculate allele frequency in future generations according to Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium.

In a population with the following genotype frequencies: AA = 0.2, Aa = 0.2, aa = 0.6, what are p and q, the frequencies of the A and a alleles?  

Calculate the frequencies of the AA, Aa, and aa genotypes after one generation if the initial population consists of 0.2 AA, 0.6 Aa, and 0.2 aa genotypes and meets the requirements of the Hardy-Weinberg relationship. What genotype frequencies will occur after a second generation?

Calculate the genotype and allele frequencies. What would be the expected genotype frequencies if this population were in genetic equilibrium?

How do I calculate allele frequency?
