if frequency of homozygous dominant is 36% what will be the frequency of heterozygous career​

1 thought on “if frequency of homozygous dominant is 36% what will be the frequency of heterozygous career​”

1. Explanation:

   It is given that, the population frequency of dominant allele (p) is 0.7. Hence, the population frequency of recessive allele (q) will be 1 – 0.3 = 0.7.

   We know that p

   2

   + 2pq + q

   2

   = 1, where p

   2

   is frequency of homozygous dominant phenotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous dominant phenotype and q

   2

   is frequency of homozygous recessive phenotype.

   Hence, frequency of homozygous dominant phenotype (p

   2

   ) will be 0.7

   2

   = 0.49.

   Thus, the correct answer is ‘0.49.’
