Title: How do u calculate allele frequencies of A and a given only the frequency of two phenotypes A_=.75 and aa=.25? Post by: ton on Sep 1, 2012 The _ denotes the possibility of an A or a allele.
Title: How do u calculate allele frequencies of A and a given only the frequency of two phenotypes A_=.75 and aa=.25? Post by: oark on Sep 1, 2012 I think you have to use the hardy-weinberg equation which states p^2+2pq+q^2.
frequency of AA (p): (.75)^2 =0.5625 frequency of Aa (q): (.25)^2=0.0625 frequency of aa(2pq): 2(.75)(.25)=0.375 |
