Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given expression 2pq represents a cross between two individuals where p and q represent two different alleles. The resulting offspring can have three possible genotypes - homozygous dominant (AA), heterozygous (Aa), and homozygous recessive (aa). 
Since we do not know the actual alleles represented by p and q, we cannot determine the actual genotype of the resulting offspring. However, the best choice among the given options is Aa, as it represents a heterozygous genotype, which allows for more genetic diversity and potential for adaptation in the offspring. The other options represent only one allele (either dominant or recessive), which limits the genetic diversity and may not be as adaptive in changing environments.
