Question

After reading the background information and watching the instructional videos, answer the following questions ts DQuestion 12 1 pts Genotypic frequency is the frequency of a genotype [homozygous recessive (eg, aa), homozygous dominant (e g, AA), or heterozygous (e,g.. Aa)l in a population. If you don't know the frequency of the recessive allele, you can calculate it if you know the frequency of individuals with the recessive phenotype (their genotype must be homozygous recessive). If you observe a population and find that 16% show the recessive trait, you know the frequency of the aa genotype. This means you know q2 ons ary toring What is the frequency of the homozyR ous recessive senotvne in the population above? 4 Previous Next Not saved Submit Quiz MacBook Air

Explanation / Answer

Frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype in the population is

16/100=0.16

q is the square root of 0.16=0.4

0.4 is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype in the population.
