Question:
1.In a Hardy weinberg population of 1600 individuals,256 are with recessive trait for a character.The frequency of dominant allele is. Options are: 1)0.16. 2)0.36. 3)0.4. 4)0.6. Please explain this problem
Answer:
Recessive trait is 256 out of 1600 i.e. q2= 256/1600=0.16
q=0.4. As p+q=1, p = 0.6 and p2= 0.36
Therefore option 2, 0.36 dominant allele frequency in hardy weinberg.
