Hardy-Weinberg Punnett Square

The video tutorial explains the Hardy-Weinberg Punnett square, a tool for analyzing gene pool changes over time. It begins with Reginald Punnett's work on Punnett squares and Mendelian genetics, then introduces the Hardy-Weinberg equations, highlighting their historical context. The tutorial demonstrates applying these principles to gene pools, calculating probabilities in population genetics, and concludes with practical applications and a call for an interactive app to visualize these concepts.
