Question

Given allele frequencies p = 0.4 and q = 0.6, with observed genotype frequencies of AA = 0.16, Aa = 0.48, and aa = 0.36, is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because the observed genotypes match the expected frequencies.

Answer

No, because p + q should equal 1.

Answer

Yes, because p and q are not in balance.

Answer

No, because the allele frequencies are equal.
