Consider a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: A gene in this population has two allele pools, showing a distribution of 80% of the dominant allele and 20% of the recessive allele. What percentage of the population would be heterozygous for the trait?

Frequency of two alleles in a gene is 0.19 (A) and 0.81 (a) . Assume that the population is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. a) calculate the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population. b) calculate the percentage of homozygous recessive in the population

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, $A I$ and $A 2$. Tests show that $70 \%$ of the gametes produced in the population contain the $A I$ allele. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the flies carry both $A I$ and $A 2 ?$ a. 0.71 b. 0.49 c. 0.42 d. 0.21
