What is the mathematical relationship between 'p' and 'q' in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
p ÷ q = 1
p - q = 1
p + q = 1
p × q = 1
|
Which of the following genotype frequencies is represented by '2pq' in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
heterozygous
none of the above
|
If the frequency of the recessive allele (q) is 0.3, what is the frequency of the dominant allele?
1.0
0.7
0.3
0.9
|
What does the term 'gene pool' refer to in the context of the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
all alleles of all genes in all individuals of a population at a given time
all alleles of a single gene in all individuals of a population at a given time
all genes in all individuals of a population at a given time
all individuals in a population at a given time
|
What is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals represented by in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
q2
p
q
2pq
|
If the frequency of the dominant allele (p) is 0.6, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
1.0
0.4
0.8
0.6
|
What is the mathematical relationship between the genotype frequencies in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 2
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 0
p2 + 2pq + q2 = p + q
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

0.36
1.0
0.8

0.9
0.2
0.1
