In a population with two alleles for a particular locus, B and b, the allelefrequency of B is 0.7. What would be the frequency of heterozygote ifthe population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?(a) 0.7 0.42 (c) 0.49 (d) 0.09 (e) 0.21 |

Answer» Answer: 0.42 Explanation: FREQUENCY of ALLELE P = 0.7 or 70%, Frequency of allele p = 0.3 or 30%. From Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium : (p^2 + 2pq + q^2) 2pq (Heterozygous genotype) = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42 or 42% |
