D

molecular genetics

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) `(p+q)^(2)=p^(2)+2pq+q^(2)=1` represents an equation used in population genetics. It is a mathematical representation of 'Hardy-Weinberg principle'. This principle says that allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generation, i.e., the gene pool remains a constant.
