2. You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the A locus. Suppose there are two alleles at this locus and you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: A) The frequency of the "a" allele. B) The frequency of the "A" allele. C) The frequencies of the genotypes "AA" and "Aa." D) The frequencies of the two possible phenotypes in the population assuming a situation of complete dominance ("A" is completely dominant over "a").

Since the "aa" genotype is 36%, the frequency of the "aa" genotype is 0.36. Show more…

You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: A. The frequency of the "aa" genotype. B. The frequency of the "a" allele. C. The frequency of the "A" allele. D. The frequencies of the genotypes "AA" and "Aa."

You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: Each answer should be rounded to two decimal places. a. The frequency of the "aa" genotype. b. The frequency of the "a" allele. c. The frequency of the "A" allele. d. The frequency of the genotype "AA". e. The frequency of the genotype "Aa". f. The frequencies of the two possible phenotypes if "A" is completely dominant over "a" - dominant phenotype and recessive phenotype.
