In Hardy-Weinberg equation, the frequency of heterozygous individual is represented by

Options

A. `P^(2)`
B. 2pq
C. pq
D. `q^(2)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Hardy-Weinberg principle states that the allele frequencies in a population are stable and remain constant from generation to generation.
this can e expressed by the equation. ltBrgt `p^(2)+2pq+q^(2)=1`
or `(p+q)^(2)=1`
where, `p^(2)` represents frequency of homozygous domionant gonotype, 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous genotype and `p^(2)` represents the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.
