Question
[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
A particular gene exists in the form of two alleles, A and a, where A is dominant allele and a is recessive. If p is the frequency of allele A, use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to predict the frequency of individuals that have at least one A allele

p2
|
|
|
p2+2pq
|
|
|
p2 + q2
|
|
|
p2 + 2pq + q2

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An organism with two dominant alleles for a trait is said to have a homozygous dominant genotype. Using the eye color example, this genotype is written BB. An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele is said to have a heterozygous genotype.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a population that is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of a recessive allele for a certain hereditary trait is 0.20.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a Hardy Weinberg question, if they give you the # of Homozygous dominant, # of heterozygous and the # of homozygous recessive. You can calculate the p and q by using the total number of alleles of p or q divided by the total number of alleles in the population or finding
