In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.1. What is the frequency of individuals with AA genotype?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Frequency of individuals with AA genotype is [tex]0.81[/tex]

Explanation:

As per Hardy-Weinberg equation, frequency of allele "a" is [tex]0.1[/tex]

Which means that [tex]q=1[/tex]

where "q" denotes frequency of allele "a"

As per I equation of Hardy-Weinberg -

[tex]p+ q =1\\[/tex]

where "p" denotes frequency of allele "A"

Substituting the value of "q" we get ,

[tex]p+0.1=1\\p=1-0.1\\p=0.9[/tex]

Frequency of individuals with AA genotype is represented as [tex]p^{2}[/tex] which is equal to

[tex]0.9^2\\= 0.81[/tex]

Frequency of individuals with AA genotype is [tex]0.81[/tex]
