Detailed explanation-1: -In generation 1, the recessive allele has a frequency of 0.6 and in generation 40, the recessive phenotype has a frequency of 0.36. Is the population is Hardy-Weinberg? No, the frequency changed from one generation to another.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a certain population which is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 36 % of individuals are homozygous for curly hair (CC). The gene for curly hair is dominant over the gene for straight hair, c.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 38 % of the individuals are recessive homozygotes for a certain trait.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Hardy-Weinberg equation is p2+2pq+q2=1 and is used to determine the frequency of genotypes in a given population. To solve for the frequency of a specific genotype, start by replacing the appropriate terms with the known values you’ve been given.
