Question

If the allele frequency of the dominant allele is 0.4,what value is used for the term p² in the equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1?
A) 0.4
B) 0.2
C) 0.16
D) 16

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term p² represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype, which is calculated by squaring the frequency of the dominant allele (p). Since p = 0.4, p² = 0.4² = 0.16.
