Question

If a population has the following genotype frequencies, AA = 0.42, Aa= 0.46, and aa= 0.12m, then what are the allele frequencies?

  1. A = 0.42 a= 0.12
  2. A = 0.6 a= 0.4
  3. A = 0.65 a =0.35
  4. A = 0.76 a = 0.24

hintHint:

A = 0.65 a =0.35

The correct answer is: A = 0.65 a =0.35


    • It can be calculated by 
    p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
    p^2 = dominant homozygous frequency (AA)
    2pq = heterozygous frequency (Aa)
    q^2 = recessive homozygous frequency (aa)
