Step 1
In this equilibrium, the frequency of the dominant allele is represented by p, and the frequency of the recessive allele is represented by q. The Hardy-Weinberg equations are used to determine these frequencies. The most commonly used equation to determine Show more…

Which of the following rows differentiates the two Hardy-Weinberg equations? Select one: a. p + q = 1 | p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Phenotype frequency | Allele frequency b. p + q = 1 | p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Genotype frequency | Phenotype frequency c. p + q = 1 | p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Allele frequency | Phenotype frequency d. p + q = 1 | p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Allele frequency | Genotype frequency

According to the Hardy-Weinberg formula: *There is more than one correct answer* a. The frequency of all homozygotes in a population is equivalent to p + q. b. The frequency of all alleles in a population is equal to 2pq. c. The frequency of the q allele is equivalent to 1 - p. d. None of the statements listed are correct.
