. A locus containing three alleles A, B and C are found in a population known to be in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. What is the combined frequency of all the heterozygotes within this population if the frequency of the A allele is 0.6 and the B allele is 0.1?
a) 0.14
b) 0.60
c) 0.12
d) 0.54
e) Not enough information
Homework Answers
According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, p2 + 2pq + q2 =1, where p and q are the frequency of two alleles. and 2pq is the frequency of the heterozygotes.
As the frequency of two alleles is 0.6 and 0.1. So, in this way, the frequency of heterozygote is 2pq= 2*0.6*0.1 = 0.12.
So, the frequency of heterozygotes is 0.12
Therefore, the correct option is (c).
Hope it helps, Good luck !!!!

Consider a locus of interest that has two alleles: A and a. A diploid individual carrying these alleles can have one of three genotypes: AA, Aa, or aa; a population will consist of some combination of AA, Aa, and aa individuals. The relatively frequency of each of these genotypes makes up the population's structure. Hardy and Weinberg independently figured out that, in the absence of forces that cause evolutionary change, the population structure will 'settle' or default to equilibrium values,...

Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Assume that 40% of all the alleles in a certain population are type A and 30% are type B. The locus is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the proportion of organisms that are of type AB is (0.40)(0.30) = 0.12. In a sample of 300 organisms, 42 are of type AB. Can you conclude that this locus is not in...

MN blood type in humans is determined by two alleles at a single
co-dominant locus; these alleles are LM and
LN. In a sample of 1190 individuals , it was found
that:
75 had type M blood (LMLM)
800 had type MN blood (LMLN)
315 had type N blood (LNLN)
Given this population data, calculate the observed
allele frequencies and the expected number of individuals
of each genotype. For allele frequency reposes, please round to 3
decimal places (ex. 0.000)....
