In a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the recessive homozygous genotype (q^2) is 0.16 and the frequency of a dominant phenotype (p^2 + 2pq) is 0.84. What is the expected frequency of the heterozygous carriers (2pq)? explain please
Added by Diego V.
Step 1
This is represented by the equation p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype, and q^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype. We 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.

The recessive allele b has a frequency of 0.8 in a population that is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. What is the genotypic frequency of the homozygous dominant? (Hint: calculate the dominant allele frequency using p + q = 1 and use identify the calculation for genotypic frequency for homozygous dominant in p2 + 2pq + q2 .) Retain 2 significant figures.

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 Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? a. 0.16 b. 0.36 c. 0.48 d. 0.84
