Answer #1

ANSWER:

Therefore, Number of heterozygotes = total frequency of heterozygotes * number of individuals in population= 0.64 * 100 = 64

Hence, the correct option is (b) i.e, 64.

There are three different alleles at the same locus that contribute to blood type. A homozygote for AA will be type A, a homozygote for BB will be type B, and a homozygote for ii will be type O. Heterozygotes exist as well, where A is codominant with B (producing type AB), and both A and B are dominant to i. In a population, 4% are type O, and 1% of the individuals are homozygous for type A.
