In a given population where albinism is present the frequency of genotypes are as follows: AA = 400, Aa = 800, aa = 100 How many alleles are there for the albino trait? 400 2000 1000 800 200

Step 1
- Number of individuals with genotype Aa = 800 - Each individual with genotype Aa carries one allele for albinism - Number of alleles for the albino trait carried by individuals with genotype Aa = 800 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.

Human albinism is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that you find a village in the Andes where 16% of the population is albino. If the population size is 1000 and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to this trait, how many individuals are expected to be heterozygotes? 500 360 480 Impossible to tell from the information given. 240
Kaela P.
In a population with two alleles, $B$ and $b$, the allele frequency of $b$ is $0.4 . B$ is dominant to $b .$ What is the frequency of individuals with the dominant phenotype if the population is in HardyWeinberg equilibrium? a. 0.16 b. 0.36 c. 0.48 d. 0.84
