Question:
For the MN-blood group system, the frequencies of M and N alleles are 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. The expected frequency of MN-blood group bearing organisms is likely to be
a. 42% b. 49% c. 9% d. 58%
solve this question with explanation plz...
Answer:
From the equation,
(p + q)2 = p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
MN = 2pq
= 2 x 0.7 x 0.3
Thus, expected frequency of MN group = [(2 x 0.7 x 0.3)/1] x 100
= 42%.
