In a hypothetical population of gazelles, 28 individuals are homozygous for the d2 allele, 72 individuals are heterozygous for the d2 allele, and 100 individuals lack the d2 allele.What is the frequency of the d2 allele?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of the d2 allele can be calculated using the equation:
allele frequency = (2 * number of homozygous individuals + number of heterozygous individuals) / (2 * total number of individuals)

Using this equation:

allele frequency = (2 * 28 + 72) / (2 * 200) = 0.32
Therefore, the frequency of the d2 allele is 0.32.
