The genotypic and allelic frequencies of a population at the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is described by the equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 Analyze the pairing given below. If properly paired indicate "A" but if improperly paired indicate "B" for your answer. p : frequency of recessive allele

Step 1
The equation is given as: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Here, p represents the frequency of the dominant allele, and q represents the frequency of the recessive allele. Since we are looking for the frequency of the recessive allele, we need to focus on the term q. Show more…

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.

Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1) to find the genotypes of the following hypothetical phenotypic information: a. Within a particular population, you observe that 450 individuals have freckles (dominant, F) and 550 do not have freckles (recessive, f). b. Homozygous dominant (frequency) ______(A)_________ c. Heterozygous (frequency) ______(B)_____________ d. Homozygous recessive (frequency) _______(C)____________
