Title: Genetic diversity in population
Post by: angie19 on Aug 11, 2015
This question was asked previous however when I added it up the answer didn't equal 1.
a dominant allele, T, codes for the ability to taste the compound (PTC), people who are homozygous for the recessive allele,t, are unable to taste PTC.
Out of 125 students, 88 students could taste PTC and 37 cannot.

A) calculate the expected frequencies of the T and t alleles in the student population

B) how many students would you expect to be heterozygous for the tasting gene

C) how many students would you expect to be homozygous dominant for the tasting gene

D) how could you check the answers for parts (b) and (c)

I went q= 37/125= .296x 100= 29.6 rounded it to 30% or .3

P=88/125=.704x 100= 70.4 rounded it to 70% or .7

I'm lost ...
