Using the equation p + q = 1, if p = .25, what does q =?
A
.65
B
.85
C
.75
D
0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Hardy-Weinberg Law is an equation for calculating the frequencies of different alleles and genotypes in a population in genetic equilibrium and expressed by the formula p + q = 1 where p is the frequency of the dominant allele and q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a Hardy Weinberg question, if they give you the # of Homozygous dominant, # of heterozygous and the # of homozygous recessive. You can calculate the p and q by using the total number of alleles of p or q divided by the total number of alleles in the population or finding
