Question

Assume that gene T is closely linked to gene U. Two different alleles of T exist in the population. Allele t₁ confers resistance to severe forms of COVID-19, while allele t₂ does not; these alleles do not confer other notable phenotypes. Two different alleles of U exist in the population: u₁ and u₂, none of which makes any difference in terms of fitness. The makeup of chromosomes in a human population is

Genotype	Frequency
t₁ u₁	300
t₂ u₁	300
t₁ u₂	50
t₂ u₂	350

What is the frequency of the u₂ allele in the population? Write that frequency as a number between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0.5 if the frequency is 50%).
