In the Hardy Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1), which of the following shows the frequencies of dominant alleles?
a) p                        
b) q                        
c) 2pq    
d) 1

a

In the Hardy Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1), which of the following shows the frequencies of recessive alleles?
a) p                        
b) q                        
c) 2pq    
d) 1

b

In the Hardy Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1), which of the following shows the frequencies of heterozygous alleles?
a) p                        
b) q                        
c) 2pq    
d) 1

c

According to Hardy Weinberg equation, p is equal to………
a) AA                                    
b) ½ Aa
c) aa                                      
d) AA + ½ Aa

d

Explanation: p equals to the all alleles in individuals who are homozygous dominant (AA) and half of the alleles in people who are heterozygous (Aa) for a trait in a population


According to Hardy Weinberg equation, q is equal to………
a) AA                                    
b) ½ Aa
c) aa                                      
d) aa+ ½ Aa

d

Explanation: q equals to the all alleles in individuals who are homozygous recessive (aa) and half of the alleles in people who are heterozygous (Aa) for a trait in a population
