A hypothetical population has two alleles for a gene: A and a.In a random sample of 50 individuals,20 are homozygous for a,20 are homozygous for A,and 10 are heterozygous.What is the frequency of A?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of A is 50%. This is because there are 20 homozygous individuals for A, 10 heterozygous individuals, and 20 homozygous individuals for a. The total number of alleles in the population is 50 x 2 = 100. The number of A alleles is 20 + 10 = 30. Therefore, the frequency of A is 30/100 = 50%.
