Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote

Complements Wave 1 2pq. Distinct from allele frequency p itself.

Expected AA (or dominant homozygote) frequency = p².

Tip: Enter a realistic “Allele Frequency p” value, then compare the Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote result to the worked example on this page.

Under Hardy–Weinberg assumptions, expected dominant-homozygote frequency is p squared.

Enter allele frequency p (0–1) for the same locus and generation model.

Understanding Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote

How we calculate. Expected AA (or dominant homozygote) frequency = p². See our methodology and accuracy policy .

Real-world scenario: Work a realistic Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote example with the labeled inputs on this page, then compare your result to the worked example.

What is Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote?

Complements Wave 1 2pq. Distinct from allele frequency p itself.

  • p between 0 and 1
  • HW teaching model
  • Not observed count unless assumed HW

The Formula

HW Dominant Homozygote
p² = p × p

Worked Example

Scenario: p = 0.7.
Step 1: 0.7 × 0.7 = 0.49
Answer: Dominant homozygote frequency p² is 0.49.

Common Use Cases

  • Homework: population genetics
  • Study: pair with 2pq and q²
  • Lab: expected genotype shares

Pro Tips

  • Pair with Wave 1 2pq
  • Confirm p + q ≈ 1
  • Don’t treat p as a percent
ScenarioWhen to use
Percent of a numberFinding a part of a whole (tax, tip, score)
Percent changeComparing old vs new values

Limitations: Biology Hardy–Weinberg Dominant Homozygote results are educational biology study aids—not medical diagnosis, clinical advice, or ecological management guidance. Confirm formulas and units with your textbook or instructor.

Common mistakes

  • Swapping part and whole: The denominator must be the full total, not a subset.
  • Rounding too early: Carry extra decimal places through multi-step work before rounding the final percent.
  • Mixing percent and decimal forms: Enter rates in the format the calculator labels expect.
