The number of individuals with recessive phenotype is 20000 - 16800 = 3200. Their proportion in the population is 3200 / 20000 = 0.16 As individuals with recessive phenotype can have aa genotype only, the frequency of recessive allele is sqrt (0.16)=0.4 The frequency of dominant allele is 1 - 0.4=0.6 The frequency of homozygous individuals with dominant phenotype is 0.6^2 = 0.36 The number of such individuals is 0.36 * 20000 = 7200

If the homozygous dominant genotype makes up 36% of the population what is the frequency of the dominant allele in that population?

According to the Hardy-Weinberg Law (p^2+2*p*q+q^2=1) a frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is p^2 = 36%/100= 0.36, therefore the frequency of the dominant allele in that population is the...

What are the phenotype and genotype ratios for a mix between homozygous dominant flower with red (R) pedals and a homozygous recessive flower with white (r) pedals?

RR x rrF1: 100% RrIf complete dominance than phenotype will be 100% red flowersIf incomplete dominance – 100% pink flowers

In a random mating population oo 28,800 individuals percentyage of dominant homozygous individuals is 49.find out the percentage of heterozygous individual

Solution: The frequencies of different types of genotypes in ideal population are described by the Hardy–Weinberg law: p^2 +2pq+q^2 =1 where p 2 is a frequency of dominant homozygotes, q^2...

The frequency of a recessive allele in a large randomly mating population is 0.2. What is the frequency of: (a) The dominant allele? (b) The heterozygote

a. q=0.2, and p+q=1. Thus, the frequency of dominant allele is 1-0.2=0.8 b. The frequency of heterozygote is 2*p*q. It is 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32

Does autosomal recessive disease affect the homozygous dominant.

No, it doesn’t. Recessive disease affects only individuals, who have two copies of recessive allele (homozygous recessive). Heterozygotes and dominant homozygotes are not affected by autosomal recessive disease.
