| A | B |
| p | frequency of the dominant allele |
| q | frequency of the recessive allele |
| p squared | frequency of the homozygous dominants |
| q squared | frequency of the recessive trait |
| 2pq | frequency of the heterozygotes |
| p squared + 2pq | frequency of the dominant traits |
| genetic equilibrium | when Hardy-Weinberg holds true |
| evolution | when Hardy-Weinberg does not hold true |
