At a certain gene locus in a population, there are alleles A and a. The frequency of the genotype aa in the population is0.04. If the population is in HardyWeinberg equilibrium, the frequency for allele A is__ and for allele a it is __...

Step 1
In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from generation to generation. The equilibrium is described by the equation: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p is the frequency of one allele (A), q is the Show more…

A gene in a randomly-mating population has two alleles (A, a), and 1 in 400 individuals in the population is homozygous recessive (aa). Calculate the frequency of heterozygotes (Aa) in the population.

A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at a locus with two alleles. If the frequency of the homozygous recessives (aa) is 0.49, what is the frequency of the dominant allele A?
