Equation Verification: The Hardy-Weinberg law equation is given by $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$ . This equation resembles the expansion of $(p + q)^2$ . Let's verify if this is the case.
Expansion Comparison: We know that $(p + q)^2$ expands to $p^2 + 2pq + q^2$ . This matches the given Hardy-Weinberg law equation. Therefore, we can write the equation as $(p + q)^2 = 1$ .
Square Root Calculation: Since the values of $p$ and $q$ are always between $0$ and $1$ , we can take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for $p + q$ . The square root of $1$ is $1$ , and since $p$ and $q$ are non-negative, we do not need to consider the negative square root. So, we have $p + q = 1$ .
Expressing $p$ in terms of $q$ : Now, we can express $p$ in terms of $q$ by rearranging the equation $p + q = 1$ to solve for $p$ . Subtracting $q$ from both sides gives us $p = 1 - q$ .
