Question 12
What is the allele frequency of the A allele in a population with 15 AA homozygotes, 10
heterozygotes, and 25 aa homozygotes?
O 0.4
O 0.25
O 0.6
O 0.15
O Cannot be determined from the given information.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The Hardy-Weinberg principle (or Equation) states: -

1 = p + q where p denotes A's allele frequency and q denotes a's allele frequency.

Likewise, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.

p2 = AA homozygous frequency ( dominant)

2pq = Aa Heterozygous Frequency

Homozygous frequency of aa = q2 ( Recessive ).
