In a population of 100 individuals, we have 25 people that are homozygous AA, 50 people that are heterozygous Aa, and 25 people that are homozygous aa. If q is the frequency of a alleles in this population, calculate q. Write your answer as a decimal.
Homework Answers
Answer: q = 0.5
Explanation:
AA25 = 25*2= 50 "A" alleles
AA50 = 50A & 50 a alleles
aa24 = 50 "a" alleles
Total alleles = 200
Total of "a" alleles = 50+50 = 100
Frequency of allele "a" = q = 100/200 = 0.5

A population of pea plants may have white flowers (the dominant phenotype) or yellow flowers (the recessive phenotype). The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals is 0.63. Answer the questions below. For each, type out the equation with the appropriate numbers filled in as well as the answer. How would you calculate the frequency of the white homozygous alleles? How would you calculate the frequency of the recessive alleles? How would you calculate the frequency of the heterozygous individuals?
