In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, q2 is the frequency of what?
|
|
The recessive allele
|
|
|
the dominant allele
|
|
|
the recessive genotype
|
|
|
the dominant genotype
|
Explanation:
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: -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).
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: In the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem it states p2 +2pq + q2 = 1. p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype, q2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype, and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype.
