B) the frequency of heterozygotes.
C) the frequency of dominant alleles.
D) a and c
E) none of the above
Hardy-Weinberg Equation
The Hardy-Weinberg Equation is a mathematical formula used to predict the genetic variation and allele frequencies within a non-evolving population, assuming no mutation, selection, or migration.
Allele Frequency
The proportion of a specific allele (gene variant) at a given locus within a population, shown as either a fraction or a percentage.
- Describe the connection between the frequency of alleles and the frequency of genotypes within populations.
