Answer:

Explanation:

For Hardy weinberg principle for a population in equilibrum we have,

P2+ 2pq+q2=1

P+q= 1

Given that q2=2%

q2=0.02

q=√0.02

q=0.141

Since p+q=1

Therefore, p=1-q

p=1-0.141

p=0.859

P2=0.737

Since p2+2pq+q2=1

2pq= 2×0.859×0.141

=0.24

0.24×100

2pq=24%

Therefore 2pq will be 24% of the population
