Which of the following terms represents the frequency of heterozygotes in a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) p B) q C) 2pq D) q²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of heterozygotes can be represented by the equation 2pq, where p is the frequency of one allele and q is the frequency of the other allele. This is because heterozygotes can be formed by two different alleles combining, which occurs with a frequency of 2pq. Therefore, the correct answer is C - 2pq.
