Question

In a population of 200 individuals,if PTC testers (autosomal dominant) are 150 then calculate the frequency of recessive alleles??

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

PTC is autosomal dominant genetical disorder which is expressed even in the presence of single dominant allele.

So, P=150/200=0.75(p is frequency of dominant allele).

According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium p^2+q^2=1 .q=0.25
