Honors Hardy Weinberg Review

p + q = 1. If p represents the dominant allele frequency, what would q represent?

• the homozygous dominant genotype frequency

• the recessive allele frequency

• the total amount of alleles in the population

• a measure of fitness in the population

p + q always equals 1. Which answer choice best explains this?

• 1 individual could have a dominant or a recessive allele.

• The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The 1 indicates that the population has not evolved.

• In terms of frequency, 1 is the highest possible number you can have.

• In terms of frequency, 1 is the same as 100%. All alleles in a population added up give you 100% of the alleles.

Which values can be plugged into the equation? p + q = 1

• 0.6 and 0.16

• 0.6 and 0.4

• 0.4 and 0.16

• 0.48 and 0.36

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 Which numeric value should be plugged in for 2pq?

0.7 + q = 1 What's the missing value?

0.49 + 2pq + 0.09 =1 Find the value for 2pq.

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, q² is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 

• the dominant allele

• the recessive genotype

• the dominant genotype

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, p² is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 

• the dominant allele

• the recessive genotype

• the dominant genotype
