    Which of the following defines Hardey  Weinbergs law?

    A)  \[{{p}^{2}}+\text{ }2pq+\text{ }{{q}^{2}}=\text{ }1\]

    B) \[{{p}^{2}}+\text{ }2pq+\text{ }{{q}^{2}}=\text{ }1\]

    C)  \[{{p}^{2}}+\text{ }2pq+\text{ }{{q}^{2}}=\text{ }0\]

    D)  \[{{q}^{2}}+\text{ }{{p}^{2}}+\text{ }2pq=\text{ }0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The Hardy-Weinberg law is the fundamental law of population genetics, which provides the basis of studying Mendelian populations. The Hardy-Weinberg law states that the gene and genotypic frequencies in a Mendelian  population remain constant generation after generation if there is no selection, mutation, migration or random drift. It uses the binomial expression \[{{p}^{2}}+2pq+{{q}^{2}}\] to calculate the genotypic and allele frequencies of a population.
