For a gene with two alternative alleles, A (with a frequency of p) and B (with a frequency of q), the term in the algebraic form of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the heterozygote genotype frequency is A)p². B)q². C)2pq. D)(p+q)².

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that the frequency of the heterozygote genotype (AB) is given by 2pq, where p is the frequency of allele A and q is the frequency of allele B.
