Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the term q2 refers to the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype in a given population and not a particular locus.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the equation, p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous genotype AA, q2 represents the frequency of the homozygous genotype aa, and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype Aa. In addition, the sum of the allele frequencies for all the alleles at the locus must be 1, so p + q = 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals. 2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals.
Detailed explanation-4: -We know that the frequency of the recessive homozygote genotype is q2 and equal to 0.09.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hardy-Weinberg Equations The second Hardy-Weinberg equation is used to determine genotype frequencies. The variable ‘p2’ denotes the homozygous dominant genotype (AA), ‘2pq’ denotes the heterozygous genotype (Aa), and ‘q2’ denotes the homozygous recessive genotype (aa).
