Explanation:
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, the frequency of a recessive allele for a certain hereditary trait is 0.20.
Detailed explanation-4: -The frequency of Aa individuals will be 2pq.
