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.

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-
1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)
2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)
3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).
With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.
