Question

What is the hardy weinberg symbol for the dominant allele

Answer 1

Answer:

The Hardy Weinberg symbol for the dominant allele is 'p' in his equilibrium equation.

Explanation:

• The equation given by Hardy: "$\bold{p^{2}+2 p q+q^{2}=1}$" is known as "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation".
• The frequency of dominant allele and recessive allele for a trait is represented by 'p' and 'q' respectively.
• 2pq in the equation is the frequency for heterozygous  genotype.

• Conditions that must be considered for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to satisfy are: no mutations , no flow of gene, large population size, no selective forces , no non-random mating.
