<span>Mitosis
is a process whereby somatic cell divides while meiosis is a process in which
germ cell divides.</span>Both are
essential processes that occur during development. However, delay in mitosis can result into
alteration in cell kinetics pattern resulting in depletions of all populations.
The term 2pq represented in the hardy-weinberg equation is the frequency of heterozygotes and is denoted as option D.
<h3>What is Hardy-weinberg equation?</h3>
This mathematical equation is used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium and can be seen below:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where
p² is dominant homozygous frequency (AA)
2pq is heterozygous frequency (Aa)
q² is recessive homozygous frequency (aa).
The 2pq can be seen as the heterozygous frequency which is therefore the reason why option D which is frequency of heterozygotes was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
