In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, q is
A) an allele frequency.
B) the frequency of heterozygotes.
C) the frequency of dominant alleles.
D) a and c
E) none of the above
Allele Frequency
The proportion of all copies of a genetic locus in a population that are of a particular allele variant.
Heterozygotes
Individuals having two different alleles for a specific gene, one inherited from each parent, which can result in varied expressions of certain traits.
Dominant Alleles
Alleles that mask the effect of other alleles at the same gene locus when they are present.
- Analyze and interpret population genetic data, including allele frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
