Question

Which of the following represents the Hardy Weinberg equation?

• A. p2 + q2 = 1
• B. b) p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
• C. c) p2 + q2 = 0
• D. d) (p2 + q2)2 = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

B. b) p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

• The Hardy Weinberg equation is p² + 2pq + q² = 1.

• Here, p² denotes the allele of AA and q² denotes the allele aa.

• This shows that p, q, and A, a are related in multiplication. So, 2pq represent Aa.
