The frequency of one allele for a given gene locus with two alleles (A at frequency p and a at frequency q) in a population is known. Assume Hardy-Weinberg conditions hold true. Which statement is false?

A. There is sufficient information given to calculate the frequency of heterozygotes (Aa). B. The frequency of A is given by 1 - q. C. The frequency of heterozygotes is given by (p + q) / N, where N is the number of individuals in the population. D. The frequency of a is given by 1 - p. E. The frequency of a is dependent on that of A.
