Question

Assume that allele C occurs at 60 percent of the loci and allele c at 40 percent of the loci for a particular gene in a population. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of genotype C/C in the next generation will be I; the frequency of genotype C/c will be II ; and the frequency of genotype c/c will be III.

• A. I – 0.26; II – 0.38; III – 0.8
• B. I – 0.18; II – 0.24; III – 0.8
• C. I – 0.48: II – 0.36; III – 0.16
• D. I – 0.36; II – 0.48; III – 0.16

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

I – 0.26; II – 0.38; III – 0.8
