1. This Hardy-Weinberg equation, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, means ___________________. The sum of genotype frequencies equals to 1. The sum of allele frequencies equals to 1. A population is under genetic equilibrium. Population size remains constant over generations. 2. In the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, what does the term q represent? Frequency of the dominant genotype Frequency of the recessive allele Frequency of the recessive genotype Frequency of the heterozygous genotype 3. Assuming allele B is the dominant allele, b is the recessive allele. There are 40 students in a class and 10 of them have recessive genotype. What is the frequency of allele b? 0.25 4 0.5 Cannot be determined 4. In the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, what does the term q2 represent? Frequency of the dominant allele Frequency of the recessive allele Frequency of the recessive genotype Frequency of the heterozygous genotype 5. In the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, what does the term 2pq represent? Frequency of the recessive allele Frequency of the dominant genotype Frequency of the recessive genotype Frequency of the heterozygous genotype
