what is the gene frequency use the hardy-weinberg equation

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The gene frequency in a population can be calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, which is $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$, where $p$ and $q$ represent the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Define allele frequencies: In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, $p$ represents the frequency of the dominant allele, and $q$ represents the frequency of the recessive allele in the population. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Hardy-Weinberg equation: The equation $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$ describes the distribution of genotypes in a population that is not evolving. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Calculate allele frequencies: If the frequencies of the genotypes are known, the allele frequencies can be calculated. For example, if the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype ($AA$) is given as $p^2$, and the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype ($aa$) is given as $q^2$, then $p$ can be calculated as the square root of the frequency of $AA$, and $q$ can be calculated as the square root of the frequency of $aa$. The frequency of the heterozygous genotype ($Aa$) is represented as $2pq$. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a mathematical representation of the genetic equilibrium within a population where allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences. ⚹◊What factors can lead to a change in gene frequency within a population according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
