Question

What does the letter q stand for in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?

Answer 1

Hardy Weinberg equation

p^2+2pq+q^2=1

p^= homozygous Dominant 
pq= heterozygous
q^2 = homozygous recessive.

Answer 2

Letter q in Hardy-Weinberg equation stands for frequency of a recessive allele in a population.

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equation can be shown as below:

• Hardy-Weinberg equation: $p^{2}+2 p q+q^{2}=1$
• This also is known as Hardy-Weinberg’s equilibrium equation.
• Here, p can be defined as frequency of dominant allele and q can be defined as frequency of recessive allele.
• This is for a trait controlled by pair of alleles (For example, A and a).
