Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Hardy-Weinberg principle says that the sum total of all the allelic frequencies of a gene is 1 and the possible frequencies of above mentioned genotypes, i.e., AA, aa and Aa are p², q² and 2pq, respectively. So mathematically this statement can be written as
p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where

p^{2}

= Homozygous dominant individuals
2pq = Heterozygous individuals

q^{2}

= Homozygous recessive individuals

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