Question
Consider a population of sheep to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The black wool (w) allele has an allele frequency of 0.81, whereas the white wool (W) allele has an allele frequency of 0.19. Then the population's heterozygous individuals account for ____% of the total.
- 4%
- 15%
- 31%
- 66%
Hint:
31%
The correct answer is: 31%
Heterozygous allele = 2Ww
= 2 *0.81*0.19 = 0.3078 = 0.31
which is equals to 31%
