The equation, p + q = 1 is used to calculate genotype frequencies in a population allows calculation of the recessive allele only allows calculation of the dominant allele only allows calculation of allele frequencies in a population The Hardy-Weinberg Equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1, allows you to calculate: frequency of dominant and recessive alleles none of the above abundance of the total population of a species frequencies of genotypes for a given gene the total number of alleles in a population of a species
Shaiju T.
This Hardy-Weinberg equation, p + q = 1, means ___________________. A. The sum of genotype frequencies equals to 1. B. The sum of allele frequencies equals to 1. C. A population is under genetic equilibrium. D. Population size of the population remains constant over generations. 2. A locus has two alleles with allele frequencies p and q. If a population is not under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, p + q may not equal to 1. True or False?

In the equation P + Q = 1, what does the ''P'' represent The ''P'' represents the recessive allele frequency within the population The ''P'' represents the total allele frequencies within a given population The ''P'' represents the dominant allele frequency within the population
