Question

Directions: Answer the following question(s).

Using the Hardy-Weinberg principle, if p = 0.3,
what is q?
A. 0.3
B. 0.5
C. 0.7
D. 1.0

Answer 1

C. 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

according to Hardy-Weinberg principle

sum of the frequencies for all the alleles at the locus must be 1, so p + q = 1.

+ = 1

q = 1 − p

q = 1 − (0.3)

q = 0.7
