- 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.
Good work Harmon, I liked the way you formatted your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe blog is neatly arranged and the steps were easy to follow.
We have similar formats and you know what they say great minds think alike
God job with the calculations and format Harmon. The only thing I would suggest would be putting the steps along or before the answers.
