About

The Allele Frequency Calculator is an interactive population genetics tool for calculating allele and genotype frequencies and examining microevolution. Users can enter raw counts for homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes, or work with genotype frequency distributions. The tool calculates dominant allele frequency (p) and recessive allele frequency (q), compares observed genotype frequencies with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, and displays expected and observed counts. It also supports calculations based on recessive phenotype frequency under Hardy-Weinberg assumptions. For studying evolutionary change, users can set genotype fitness coefficients and a finite population size to simulate natural selection and genetic drift across generations. A generational history log and tracking chart record changes in allele and genotype frequencies. The tool is designed for biology and genetics coursework involving population genetics, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection, and genetic drift.
