Question

HARDY-WEINBERG:

Part 1: During our first lab we measured allele frequencies for a single Alu-insert for our class population. Another class in Seattle had slightly different results:

Homozygous for the insert +/+ = 5           
Heterozygous +/- = 7         
Homozygous for no insert -/- = 18

Calculate the observed genotype frequencies from these counts.

Heterozygous +/- = 7         
Homozygous for no insert -/- = 18

Calculate the allele frequencies for this population using the counts.
NOTE: Round off to TWO significant figures (for example: .25).
