Hweezy Problem
- q² ( Frequency of Homozygous Recessive Individuals)= .05
- p² ( Frequency of Homozygous Dominant Individuals)= .61
- 2pq ( Frequency of Heterozygous Individuals) = .34
- q ( Frequency of Dominant allele)= .22
- p ( Frequency of Recessive allele)= .78
- Number of Homozygous Recessive Individuals in population= 50
- Number of Homozygous Dominant Individuals in population= 610
- Number of Heterozygous Individuals in population= 340
Steps
- Square root q² to obtain q
- Subtract q from 1 to obtain p
- Square p to obtain p²
- Multiply p, q, and 2 to obtain 2pq
- Multiply q² , 2pq, and p² to 1000 ( the population) to obtain the number of individuals of each genotype.
