A population's recessive allele frequency 25%. What is the percentage of the Homozygous Dominant genotype?
We can solve this using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle.
Given:
The frequency of the recessive allele q = 0.25.
Step 1: Find p, the frequency of the dominant allele.
Since p + q = 1, we can find p:
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
Step 2: Find the frequency of the Homozygous Dominant genotype (BB).
The frequency of the Homozygous Dominant genotype (BB) is given by :
