If the recessive allele, a, has a frequency of 0.15 how many A alleles are there in a randomly mating population of 253 individuals? (rounded up to the nearest whole individual allele)
Added by Lee H.
Step 1
15, we can calculate the frequency of the dominant allele A using the formula p = 1 - q, where q is the frequency of the recessive allele. p = 1 - 0.15 p = 0.85 Show more…

In a large, randomly mating population, the frequency of an autosomal recessive lethal allele is $0.20 .$ What will the frequency of this allele be in the next generation if all homozygotes die before reproducing?
In a population, the frequency of the blue eye allele is 0.53. What is the expected frequency of individuals with blue eyes (an autosomal recessive phenotype) after one generation of mating between first cousins (F=0.25)? Enter your answer to the nearest 0.01.
