Solution

The correct option is A $p^{2} + 2 p q + q^{2} = 1.$
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a mathematical equation that can be used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium.If in a genetic locus at which there are two alleles, A and a, the Hardy-Weinberg equation is expressed as:
$p^{2} + 2 p q + q^{2} = 1.$ where p is the frequency of the "A" allele and q is the frequency of the "a" allele in the population.
