a population is made up of individuals where 4 have the a1a1 genotype, 60 have the a1a2 genotype, and 48 have the a2a2 genotype. what is the allele frequency of a1? answer to 2 decimal places.



Answer :

The frequency of a1 allele is 0.49 for the given genotype population.

In order to find out the allele frequency we first need to find the total number of populations with all the given genotypes. To find the total number of populations we need to add all the given genotypes, such as-

(4+60+48) = 112.

So, we get the total number of populations is 112.

Now we need to find the frequency of a1 allele by,

a1(112/4) + a1/2(112/30) = 0.49

      Allele is the gene that is transferred to the next generation. An allele can be dominant or recessive in the next generation.

The character that is shown relative to the parent in known as dominant and the character that is suppressed is known as recessive.
