The Q is the recessive trait and the P is the dominant trait. Always find Q first when solving Hardy Weinberg equations.

What variables must be known in order to use the Hardy -Weinberg equation?

p and q


What parts of the Hardy Weinberg equation represent gene frequency?

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p & q represent the frequencies for each allele.


The hardy-weinberg principle is written as an equation p2 plus 2pq plus q2 1 What does the q represent?

p and q represent the frequencies of two types of alleles.


What does the p2 stand for in the hardy- weinberg equation?

The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p is frequency of dominant allele A q is frequency of recessive allele a p + q always equals 1 pp or p2 is probability of AA occurring qq or q2 is probability of AA occurring 2pq is probability of Aa occurring (pq is probability of Aa, qp is probability of aA, so 2pq is probability of all heterozygotes Aa) These add up to 1 because they represent all possibilities. The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype

In this equation what does Q repressent?

Depends on the equation. If it is similar to: Q = m*Cp*dT then Q = energy if it is similar to A= Ao * exp (-Q/RT) then Q is the activation energy


How do you find the percentage of a trait?

If you are interested in genotype as opposed to phenotype use the Hardy-Weinburg equation. q (squared) + 2qp + p (squared) = 1.0. Where q is represents the recessive allele and p is the dominant allele. If you know the number of homozygous recessive individuals in a population you can calculate for q and determine p using the equation q+p=1 If the number of recessive individuals in a population is .25 this equals q(squared) so q=.5 and p=.5 .25+.5+.25=1 This means that 50% of all the alleles for this trait are recessvie and 50% are dominant. If .36 of the population is homozygous recessive then q=.6 and p=.4 and the Hardy-Weinberg equation shows .36+2[(.6)(.4)]+.16=1=.36+.48+.16 To get percentage multiply by 100.


Evolution and Genetics I really need the help please The correct equation for the Hardy-Weinberg principle is p2 pq q2 1 p2 2pq q2 1 p 2pq q 1 p pq q 1?

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1


In the equation Q 12 89 what is the value of Q?

Why don't you express the equation verbally? Q 12 89 doesn't have much meaning.


In the equation Q subtract 12 equals 89 what is the value of Q?

Q - 12 = 89 Add 12 to both sides of the equation. Q - 12 + 12 = 89 + 12 Q = 101


What is hardy-weinberg equation?

The Hardy Weinberg equation is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 Where p and q are the initial frequencies for the two alleles in question. This equation suggests that the three possible genotypes (homozygous p, heterozygous pq, and homozygous q) will reach a frequency equilibrium (i.e. stable frequency) in those proportions described above, if the following conditions are met: # Large population # No mutation # No selection# No emigration/immigration # Random mating In other words, evolution-- allelic frequency change within a population-- will not occur if the above 5 conditions are met.
