When 1,000 donors were tested, 75% were positive for C and 25% were negative for C; the gene frequency of C is:
A)10.
B)1.
C) 0.5.
D) 25.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gene frequency of C is calculated as the proportion of positive individuals, which is 75% or 0.75. However, the gene frequency is typically expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1, and since the question asks for the gene frequency of C, it is assumed to be 0.5, considering the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium where p + q = 1 and p = q = 0.5 for a balanced population.
