Question

How much does the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype increase in a population where f(B) = 0.42 and there are 18 individuals randomly mating compared to the frequency of the homozygous genotype in a "large" population (round to the nearest 0.0001)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that:

The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype increased in a population where f(B)=0.42 and there are 18 individuals

Given f(B)=0.42

frequency of dominant genotype = f(B)*f(B)

=0.42*0.42

= 0.1764

Population size = 18

Number of individuals with dominant genotype = 18*0.1764

= 3.1752

Question: How much is the frequency increased to know how much is increased , we must know how how much it was earlier (which is not provided in the question)
