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.

Step 1
Given that the frequency of the recessive allele (small b) is 0.8, we can calculate the frequency of the dominant allele: capital B = 1 - 0.8 capital B = 0.2 Show more…

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

A population of pea plants is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. If the frequency of the dominant allele is 0.1 what is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype? p + q = 1 p² + 2pq + q² = 1 p = frequency of the dominant allele q = frequency of the recessive allele p² = frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype 2pq = frequency of the heterozygous genotype q² = frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype
