If the frequency of dominant allele is 60%, find out the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population.

If the frequency of a dominant phenotype in a stable population is 75%, the frequency of recessive allele in that population would be

A gene locus has two alleles A, a. If the frequency of dominant allele A is 0.4, then what will be the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population

In a population of 1000 individuals 360 belong to genotype AA, 480 to Aa and the remaining 160 to aa. Based on this data, the frequency of allele A in the population is

[A]: According to Hardy-Weinburg law both gene frequencies and genotype frequencies will remain constant from generation to gen- eration in an infinitely large interbreeding population. [R]: Alleles segregating in a population tend to establish an equilibrium with reference to each other, thus maintain both frequencies constant.

ABO blood grouping is controlled by gene I which has three alleles and show co-dominance. There are six genotypes. How many phenotypes in all are possible?

The ability of certain people to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is governed by a dominant allele T, and the inability to taste PTC by its recessive allele t. If 24% of a population is homozygous taster and 40% is heterozygous taster, what is the frequency of t?

A, B,D are three independently assorting genes with their recessive alleles a, b, d respectively. A cross was made between individuals of Aa bb DD genotype with aa bb dd. Explain the type of genotypes of the offspring produced.

Persons carrying the dominant gene(s) can taste a particular chemical and are called tasters. The others are nontasters. In a large random-mating human population at the hardy-weinberg equilibrium. There are 36% non-tasters and 64% tasters. The frequency of heterozygotes in the populations is
