Question

Identify the correct equation for Hardy-Weinberg law.

• A. $p+q=1$
• B. $p-q=1$
• C. $(p+q{)}^3=1$
• D. $(p-q{)}^2=1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $p+q=1$

The Hardy–Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, which states that the amount of genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. When there are two alleles of a gene in a population, the frequencies are described as:

p + q = 1

Where p is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population and q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

So, the correct answer is option A.
