Question
Please show your work for full credit for questions 3-5. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations to solve them. 3. White fur in mice is recessive to brown fur. Su frequency of the brown fur allele is 0.8 in a population. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population? (2 pts.) ppos e the 4. Sickle cell disease is a recessiv allele is s while the normal allele is S. Suppose the frequency of individuals with sickle cell disease in a is the frequency of the normal allele?

You count 100 black mice in the population. What would the frequency of heterozygotes in the population be?

According to the Chegg guidelines I'll answer the first question when more than one question is posted. Post them separately to get the answers.
3) p=Dominant allele frequency
q = Recessive allele frequency.
According Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p + q =1.
Here q is given 0.8. So, p will be 0.2.
The frequency of heterozygotes is 2pq.
So, 2*0.8*0.2 =0.32.
The frequency of heterozygotes in population is 0.32.
