Solution

The correct version of the Hardy-Weinberg equation for genotype frequencies in a population in equilibrium is:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

This equation represents the frequencies of three genotypes in a population: p² is the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q² is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals. In a population in equilibrium, the sum of these frequencies should always equal 1.
