In this video, we look at the Hardy Weinberg Principle. First we explore what is meant by a population, a gene pool and allele frequency. We then look at the Hardy Weinberg Principle and the five conditions that must be met for this to apply. We then explore the two equations that underpin the Hardy Weinberg Principle before I show you how to apply these equations to answer a typical question.
