Answer:
The Hardy Weinberg symbol for the dominant allele is 'p' in his equilibrium equation.
Explanation:
- The equation given by Hardy: "[tex]\bold{p^{2}+2 p q+q^{2}=1}[/tex]" is known as "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation".
- The frequency of dominant allele and recessive allele for a trait is represented by 'p' and 'q' respectively.
- 2pq in the equation is the frequency for heterozygous genotype.
- Conditions that must be considered for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to satisfy are: no mutations
, no flow of gene, large population size, no selective forces
, no non-random mating.
