Question

The Hardy Weinberg equation's symbols p and q denote the _______ of a diploid organism.

  1. Frequency of allele p
  2. Frequency of only allele A
  3. Frequency of the only allele a
  4. Frequency of allele A and a

hintHint:

The Hardy Weinberg equation's symbols p and q denote the Frequency of allele A and a of a diploid organism.

The correct answer is: Frequency of allele A and a


    p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
    p^2 = dominant homozygous frequency (AA)
    2pq = heterozygous frequency (Aa)
    q^2 = recessive homozygous frequency (aa)
