Front

Which Hardy-Weinberg equation represents the genotype frequencies in a population?

Back

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Front

allele frequency formula

Back

p + q = 1

Front

The allele frequency of p=0.20 What is q?

Back

0.80

Front

(T/F) When calculating frequencies, the percentages equal 1.

Back

False

Front

What does 'p' represent in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Back

The frequency of the dominant allele.

Front

What does 'q' represent in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Back

The frequency of the recessive allele.

Front

What is the sum of the frequencies of all alleles in a population?

Back

1 (p + q = 1)

Front

What is the expected frequency of heterozygous individuals in a population?

Back

2pq

Front

If p = 0.6, what is the expected frequency of homozygous recessive individuals?

Back

q² = 0.16 (where q = 0.4)
