Question
(p + q)2 = p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 represents an equation used in?
- Population genetics
- Mandolin genetics
- Biometrics
- Molecular genetics.
Hint:
This equation represents population genetics.
The correct answer is: Population genetics
- It is also called Hardy-Weinberg equation.
- This mathematical equation helps in calculating the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium.
