Brachydactyly is a genetic condition of dogs where the outside toes on the front feet are abnormally small, resulting in dogs with only two toes on those feet. A recessive allele (b) codes for brachydactyly. A population geneticist sampling dogs in animal shelters in the northeastern U.S. determined that the frequencies of the BB, Bb, and bb genotypes were 0.64, 0.32, and 0.04, respectively. Calculate the frequency of the b allele. And Calculate the frequency of the B allele.
