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

A. the frequency of the recessive allele in a population

B. the frequency of the dominant allele in a population

C. the frequency of the heterozygous dominant genotype

D. the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype

[tex]<b><i>HEY THERE!![/tex]

Hardy Weinberg equation

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

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

SO YOUR ANSWER IS CLEARLY D. the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype
