  • thanks! get the theory now, but... if you wanna know the % of carriers, don't you have to add the numbers of 2pq and q^2? Or am I talking rubbish?

  • Nope, you're talking rubbish, sorry. :-P

    2pq is the percentage of carriers, q^2 is the percentage of homozygous recessive organisms.

  • That is not the Hardy-Weinberg Equation

    The HWE is (p+q)^2 = p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

    Genotype frequencies sum to 1

    Allelic frequencies sum to 1

  • Ok, thanks. Sorry if its different to the equation you use, this is just how i was taught it and as far as i know it doesnt make any difference - it still works. Anyone who can use the HWE will probably be able to factorise and expand brackets anyway so theres no real need for that bit. What youre saying is basically the same as arguing that 2+2 = 4 is wrong just cos i didnt write it equal to 2^2 as well.

  • That was awesome, Thank You!!! Loved the humor too!!

    P.S. Anything on General Chem?

  • Theres one on electrophilic addition, and i did make a really long one about physical chem for CHM4 (AQA) but when i tried to upload it it said that it was too long... i might see if i can split it up into shorter sections and try uploading it again.

    Oh, and thanks for subscribing! :)

see all

  • This is SO great!!! I can see clearly now!! excelent :)

  • Thanks for the video, I subbed! Sub me back!

  • ohhh thank you

  • thanks... i realy understanded it ... so thank u again soo much

  • I discovered, probably 9 months ago, that his name is Wilhelm Weinberg. Sorry... :P

  • @Thymonico your an idiot

  • @OlyGian sorry but that's not true. if you want to find the percentage in the population which carries the allele, you have to add 2pq (those which have it in combination with another allele) and q squared (those which have it exclusively).

  • Wait... What Weinberg are we talking about here?

    Did Steven Weinberg do biology!? I thought he was a theoretical physicist!

    Am I confusing him with someone else?

  • I wish we were allowed to use calculators on the AP Bio exam, so I'm not caught up doing the square root of a non-square number

  • ok sorry:P

    get it now!

    thnx! =D
