For a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in a situation where there are only two alleles at a particular locus, the allelic frequencies are: S=0.7 and s=0.3. Calculate the frequency of the heterozygous genotype in the population.

Step 1
We know that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which means that the allele frequencies will remain constant from generation to generation. Show more…

A population has two alleles, A and a, and is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of allele a is 0.3. What is the frequency of individuals with AA genotype? Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1.

If the frequency of the recessive allele for a gene is 0.3, calculate the expected frequency of heterozygotes in the next generation if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, a characteristic has two alleles, A and a. The frequency of allele a is 0.3. What is the frequency of the allele? What is the frequency of individuals with the genotype homozygous recessive? What is the frequency of individuals with the genotype heterozygous? After three generations, scientists determine the frequency of the allele is 0.5. Would you consider this population to still be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
