Which expression from the Hardy-Weinberg equation best mathematically represents a homozygote individual? A) p² B) 2pq C) q² D) p² + 2pq + q² E) both 'a' and 'c' are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium. The terms p^2 and q^2 represent the frequencies of the homozygous genotypes, where p^2 is the frequency of one homozygote and q^2 is the frequency of the other homozygote. Therefore, both 'a' and 'c' correctly represent homozygote individuals in the context of this equation.
