In a population of Hampshire pigs in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the Wallele for white belti
w allele for the solid color. Extensive sampling of this population showed 9% of the pigs to be
frequency for the dominant allele (p). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places).
QUESTION 6
inhroding coefficient of an animal (X) in which the number of generations​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

D

96%

As the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of alleles will remain the same for the next generation also.

According to the question, the frequency of recessive allele is (q = 0.2) Frequency of dominant allele= p= 1-q= 1-0.2=0.8.

Hardy Weinberg law states that the sum of all genotype frequencies is represented as the binomial expansion of the square of the sum of p and q.

This sum is equal to one - (p + q)2 = p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.

Hence, the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype in total population

"(p2) = 0.64 or 64%".

And the frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype in total population

"(2pq) = 2 X 0.8 X 0.2 = 0.32 or 32%".

And the frequency of dominant individuals in next population = 64+32= 96%.

The correct option is D.
