Answer #1

answer: According question expected frequencies of the M, MN, and N blood types on the island

f (LM) = p = 0.80, then f (LN) = q = 1-p = (1 - 0.80) = 0.20

frequency of (LM LM) = p2 + Fpq = (0.80)2 + 0.05 (0.80) (0.20) = 0.64 + 0.008 = 0.648

frequency of (LM LN) = 2pq - 2 Fpq = 2 (0.80) (0.20) - 2 (0.05) (0.80) (0.20) = 0.2 - 0.016 = 0.304

frequency of ( LN LN) = q 2+ Fpq = (0.20)2 + 0.05 (0.80) (0.20) = 0.04 + 0.008 = 0.048
