Question
The notation p and q of the Hardy Weinberg equation represent the ________ of a diploid organism.
- Frequency of allele p
- Frequency of only allele A
- Frequency of the only allele a
- Frequency of allele A and a
The correct answer is: Frequency of allele A and a
The Hardy Weinberg equation is given by
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where p is defined as the frequency of the dominant allele and q as the frequency of the recessive allele for a trait controlled by a pair of alleles (A and a).
Hence, p and q represent the frequency of alleles A and a.
