A) 0.16
B) 0.48
C) 0.36
D) 0.24
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Allele frequency is the relative proportion of a particular allele among individuals of a population, According to Hardy-Weinberg equation, the frequency of dominant and recessive alleles in a population will remain constant from generation to generation if there is no mutation, selection, random drift and migration. As per Hardy-Weinberg equation \[{{p}^{2}}+2pq+{{q}^{2}}=1\] p = dominant allele frequency q = recessive allele frequency \[{{p}^{2}}=\] homozygous dominant genotype 2pq = heterozygous genotype \[{{q}^{2}}=\] homozygous recessive genotype In question p = 0.6 and q = 0.4 Therefore, heterozygotes frequency is \[=2pq\,=2\times 0.6\times 0.4=0.48\].You need to login to perform this action.
