Question

Let's give that a try with the following example: AA aa aa Аа Ãa 20 AA First, determine what the allele frequencies in this population of cardinals are for an arbitrary gene A: frequency of dominant allele A: p = Choose... - frequency of recessive allele a: q = Choose... - These values for the allele frequencies represent the proportion of each allele in the gene pool. If we assume the three conditions above are true, then recall that generating offspring from this gene pool is in principle the same as pulling these alleles from this gene pool. The likelihood of grabbing a single dominant allele is thus Choose... • , because this is the proportion of this allele in the gene pool.
