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.'

Repeat this process of blindly drawing one male and one female candy 12 to 15 times for each person in the group.

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together in a population, the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype is 9% determine the frequency of the dominant allele. Is it answer choice? A 0.1 answer, choice B 0.3, answer choice C 0.7 or answer choice D 0.9. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is that frequency of the dominant allele. So we know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype is 9% where the homozygous recessive genotype is that lower case, a lower case A which is equal to 9%. And we also know that in the hardy Weinberg equilibrium equation, the homozygous recessive genotype is represented as Q squared which is equal to 0.9, which means that the value of Q, which is the value of the frequency of the recessive allele is equal to the square root of 0.9, which is equal to 0.3. And we also know that P plus Q is equal to one where P is the frequency of the dominant allele. So that means that P is equal to one minus Q, which is equal to 0.3. So P equals 0.7, which means that the frequency of the dominant allele, which is P is 0.7. So answer choice C is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
