Title: How do I calculate the frequency of Phenylketonurioa caused by homozugosity for a recessive allele?
Post by: David Duong on Sep 16, 2012
Phenylketonuria is caused by homozygosity for a recessive allele and can cause a severe form of mental retardation.  this condition affects 1 in 10,000 newborn Caucasian children.  calculate the frequency of heterozygotes for this allele( assume the genotypes are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium).
