Question #6d9ab

Answer 1

Follow the steps below.

Explanation:

Assuming the population satisfies the Hardy-Weinberg conditions

• A large population
• Random mating
• No mutation
• No immigration or emigration
• No natural selection

Then we will use the Hardy-Weinberg equation that shows us the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles in a population.

`p+q = 1`

p = frequency of the dominant allele
q = frequency of the recessive allele

To figure out what q is knowing `p = 0.44`

`p+q = 1`
`0.44+q = 1`
`q = 1-0.44`
`q = 0.56`
