Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If 72 out of 200 individuals in the animal population are homozygous recessive, 48% of the population would be heterozygotes, and 16% would be homozygous dominant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The recessive phenotype is controlled by the homozygous aa genotype. Therefore, the frequency of the dominant phenotype equals the sum of the frequencies of AA and Aa, and the recessive phenotype is simply the frequency of aa.
Detailed explanation-3: -We can calculate the values of p and q, in a representative sample of individuals from a population, by simply counting the alleles and dividing by the total number of alleles examined.
