Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Hardy-Weinberg principle says that the sum total of all the allelic frequencies of a gene is 1 and the possible frequencies of above mentioned genotypes, i.e., AA, aa and Aa are p2, q2and 2pq, respectively. So mathematically this statement can be written as
p2+ 2pq + q2= 1, where

p2= Homozygous dominant individuals

2pq = Heterozygous individuals

q2= Homozygous recessive individuals
