Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is : option B.

Explanation:

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium is a mathematical model that states that genotype percentage or frequency in a population and allele in a population remains stable or constant to generations if there are no evolutionary influences present.

Hardy Weinberg equation is :

            P²+2pq+q² = 1

Here, p² represents the frequency of genotypes dominant homozygotes (AA) in a population in equilibrium. The term 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygotes (Aa)  as there are two ways of developing heterozygous individuals either dominant from the egg and recessive from sperm or vice versa. and the term q² represents the frequency of recessive homozygotes (aa).  

Thus, the correct answer is : option B.
