Which of the Following is a Correct Expression of the Hardy-Weinberg

Question

Which of the following is a correct expression of the Hardy-Weinberg equation? A) p + q = 0 B) p² + pq - q² = 1 C) p² + 2pq + q² = 0 D) p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Accepted Answer

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is expressed as $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$, where $p$ and $q$ represent the frequency of the two alleles in a population. This is correctly represented in option D.
