Fill in the Blanks

In the Hardy-Weinberg equation,

represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype.

Multiple Choice

Which equations are used to calculate allele and genotype frequencies in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

• p + q = 1 and p² + 2pq + q² = 1

• p - q = 1 and p² - 2pq + q² = 1

• p × q = 1 and p² × 2pq × q² = 1

• p/q = 1 and p²/q² = 1

Multiple Choice

Which of the following equations correctly represents the relationship between p and q in the Hardy-Weinberg principle?

• p + q = 1

• p × q = 1

• p - q = 1

• p / q = 1
