p2+2pq+q2=1
rutherford
p and q represent the frequencies of two types of alleles.
It is not an equation, but q2 meaning q^2 represents q being multiplied by itself.

p2+2pq+q2=1

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1q2 + 2pq + (p2 - 1) = 0q = 1/2 [ -2p plus or minus sqrt( 4p2 - 4p2 + 4 ) ]q = -1 - pq = 1 - p
p and q represent the frequencies of two types of alleles.

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals", "squared", "cubed" etc. Please use "brackets" (or parentheses) because it is impossible to work out whether x plus y squared is x + y2 of (x + y)2. But my guess is probably not!
p represents the square root of the frequency of the homozygous genotype AA.

the frequency of the heterozygous dominant genotype
p represents the square root of the frequency of the homozygous genotype AA.
In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous individuals in a population for a specific gene with two alleles. The value 2pq accounts for the likelihood of having a heterozygous genotype when both alleles are considered.
The p and q variables in the Hardy-Weinberg equation represent the frequencies of the two alleles in a population. The equation is often written as p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p and q represent the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively.
