the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals

the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals

Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency of alleles in a population can be represented by p + q = 1, with p equal to the frequency of the dominant allele and q equal to the frequency of the recessive allele.
Detailed explanation-2: -p = the frequency of the dominant allele in a population. q = the frequency of the recessive allele in a population.
Detailed explanation-3: -P and q each represent the allele frequency of different alleles. The term p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype. The other term, q2, represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The frequency of the dominant (normal) allele in the population (p) is simply 1-0.02 = 0.98 (or 98%). The percentage of heterozygous individuals (carriers) in the population. Answer: Since 2pq equals the frequency of heterozygotes or carriers, then the equation will be as follows: 2pq = (2)(.
Detailed explanation-5: -The P-value for this test is calculated as the sum of this probability for an observed data set and the probabilities of all other data sets that have the same or smaller probabilities when HWE is true.
