Question

according to hardy weinberg principle the allele frequency of a population remains constant . if frequency of dominant allele is 0.6 than give frequency of heterogygous population?

Answer 1

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, in a large, randomly mating population, gene frequency remains same from one generation to other.
p+q=1
Where,
p: gene frequency for dominant allele
q: gene frequency for recessive allele
Given,
p=0.6
=>q=0.4

Heterozygous phenotype polpulation is given by 2pq
= 2(0.6)(0.4)
=0.48
