What does the letter q stand for in the hardy-weinberg equation? the frequency of the recessive allele in a population the frequency of the dominant allele in a population the frequency of the heterozygous dominant genotype the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype

The correct answer would be the frequency of the recessive allele in a population  

The Hardy-Weinberg equations are  

p + q = 1

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

p stands for the frequency of a dominant allele in a population. q stands for the frequency of a recessive allele in a population. p² stands for the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype q² stands for the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype 2pq stands for the frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation.q is referred to  as the frequency of the recessive allele for a trait controlled by a pair of alleles (A and a). 
Hope this has helped Brainliest Mean alot :)
