Figure 17.3 -If the population of flowers illustrated in the accompanying Punnett square is in genetic equilibrium,the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in the new generation will be ____. A) p<sup>2</sup> B) 2pq C) p<sup>2 </sup>+ q<sup>2</sup> D) q<sup>2</sup> E) p<sup>2 </sup>+ 2pq

-If the population of flowers illustrated in the accompanying Punnett square is in genetic equilibrium,the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in the new generation will be ____.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is derived from the Hardy-Weinberg principle, which states that the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in a population in genetic equilibrium is represented by p^2. The other options represent different genotype frequencies or combinations that do not specifically denote the homozygous dominant genotype frequency.
