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. E)2Aa.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium formula for the heterozygote genotype frequency is 2pq, where p and q are the frequencies of the two alleles. Therefore, option C, which gives the algebraic form of 2pq, is the correct choice. The other options do not provide the correct calculation for the heterozygote genotype frequency in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
