The recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.

<h3>What is a recessive phenotype?</h3>

A recessive phenotype is a phenotype which expresses the recessive trait of a gene.

The recessive phenotype is always h0m0zygous for that triat to be expressed.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, the allele and phenotype frequencies are given as follows:

  • p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

where;

  • p^2 is the h0m0zygous dominant phenotype frequency
  • 2pq is the heterozygous phenotype frequency
  • q^2 is the h0m0zygous recessive phenotype frequency

Therefore, the recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.

Herbivores. The eat directly from the producers. 10% of the producer's energy goes to herbivores, while only 10% of the 10% energy the herbivores had goes to carnivores.
