Question

Put all the candies used in Problems 41 back into a single mound and then divide them into two piles, being sure that the frequencies of each color are the same in each pile. Make a note of the starting frequency of each color. Label one pile 'male' and the other pile 'female.'

If both colors drawn are yellow, eat the candies! If the two colors are any other combination, including yellow with any other color, put the candies back into their respective piles.

Accepted Answer

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together in a population, the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype is 16% determine the frequency of the allele little A which is that recessive allele is it answer choice? A 0.1 answer, choice B 0.2 answer choice C 0. or answer choice D 0.4. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the frequency of the recessive allele. So we know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype is equal to 16%. And the homozygous recessive genotype is represented as Q squared in the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium equation. And so Q squared is equal to 0.16, which we get from that 16%. And we want to note the frequency of the recessive allele, which is represented as Q. And we note that Q is equal to the square root of Q squared, which Q squared is equal to 0.16. So Q equals the square root of 0.16, which means that the value of Q is 0.4, which is the frequency of that recessive allele A. So answer choice D is the correct answer.
