If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A or p and 10% a or q, what is the frequency of individuals in the population with the genotype Aa or 2pq?

0.10
|
|
0.01
|
|
0.18
|
|
0.81
|
|
0.9

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From this, We can compute the heterozygotes: 2pq = 2 (0.9) (0.1) = 0.18.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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
