What is Hardy-Weinberg Equation?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct representation of the Hardy-Weinberg Equation is:
p2+2pq+q2=1
In this equation:
- p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in a population.
- 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype.
- q2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype.
- Together, these terms encompass all possible combinations of alleles in a population.
