Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Computation The HWE p-value measures the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis that the marker does not follow Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Large p-value are consistent with the marker following HWE.
Detailed explanation-4: -If each allele occurs at the same frequencies in sperm and eggs, and gametes unite at random to produce zygotes, then the probability that any two alleles will combine to form a particular genotype equals the product of the allele frequencies.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a population with two alleles for a gene locus (P and p), the allele frequency of P is 0.7.
