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.

Cell division. The whole process involves 3 main stages namely interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.It would, however be wrong to say that its mitosis only because mitosis does not involve the duplication of chromosomes. Duplication of chromosomes occur during the interphase while the splitting of cells occur during Telophase of mitosis and Cytokinesis. Therefore, answer to this has to be generalised to be just cell division.
<u>Evolution is sometimes a controversial:</u>
Evolution is the most scientific explanation about how the life forms of earth originated and turned into the form that we see today.
I don’t think there should be a controversy because there is no other explanation that proves to be more logical than the theory of evolution. Evolution is a theory that has several supporting proofs and the theory itself was formed after several years of detailed study and observation.
I don’t think alternatives to evolution should be taught at schools. Alternative theories to evolution are based on various religious beliefs which lack a scientific basis.
Schools should be a place that enables students to do productive scientific thinking and teaching alternatives to evolution wouldn’t be a good idea.
