In Hardy-Weinberg formula P2 represents frequency of_____________?
Correct answer: C. Homozygous dominant individual
- A. Recessive allele
- B. Dominant allele
- C. Homozygous dominant individual
- D. Homozygous recessive individual
Explanation
In the Hardy-Weinberg expression p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, p is the frequency of the dominant allele, so p2 represents individuals carrying two dominant alleles, or homozygous dominant individuals. Students may choose the dominant allele itself because p denotes its frequency, but p2 denotes the genotype frequency produced by two dominant alleles.
