The Hardy- Weinberg principle that states if is the frequency of the dominant allele in a gene pool and is the frequency of the recessive allele in the gene pool, then and .
*Portion of the population that is homozygous dominant (AA) :
*Portion of the population that is heterozygous dominant (Aa) : 2pq
*Portion of the population that is homozygous recessive (aa) :
