Determining the expected frequency of each genotype Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (T^LT^L, T^LT^S, T^ST^S) based on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Keep in mind that you just learned in Part A that: The allele frequency of T^L is 0.4. The allele frequency of T^S is 0.6. The equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that at a locus with two alleles, as in this cat population, the three genotypes will occur in specific proportions: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 Enter the values for the expected frequency of each genotype T^LT^L, T^LT^S, and T^ST^S. Enter your answer numerically to two decimal places, not as percentage. For help applying the Hardy-Weinberg equation to this cat population



Answer :

Hardy-Weinberg states that the allelic frequencies in a locus are denoted by the letters p for the allelic dominant form and q for the allelic recessive forms . is  0.16

These allelic frequencies add up to one, or p + q = 1.

Hardy-Weinberg Similar to how the total of genotypic frequencies is 1, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.

Being

the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency, q the recessive allelic frequency, and p2 the dominant allelic frequency

q2 the genotypic frequency of homozygous recessive mutations

2pq the genotypic frequency of heterozygotes

TL will be assumed to be the dominant allele and TS to be the recessive one.

Each genotype's expected frequency (F) is as follows: F(TLTL) = p2 = 0.42= 0.16
