The Hardy-Weinberg Equation 1 The Hardy-Weinberg Equation How can we make predictions about the characteristics of a population? Why? Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but it is not praccal to perform a Punnett square analysis on all possible combinations of all members of a population to predict what the population might look like in the future. For that we must turn to statistics. The HardyWeinberg equation is a tool biologists use to make predictions about a population and to show whether onot evolution is occurring in that population.
