Given that p equals the frequency of the dominant allele and that q equals the frequency of the recessive allele, which of the following equations does NOT correctly represent a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
W) pĀ² + 2pq + qĀ² = 1
X) pĀ² + 2pq + qĀ² = (p + q)Ā² [p squared plus 2 p q plus q squared equals, open parenthesis, p plus q, close parenthesis, squared]
Y) 2p + pq + 2q=1
Z) p + q = 1
āļøAnswer:Y) 2p + pq + 2q=1
