Question

The following genotypes occurred in a stable population:
GG 9% Gg 42% gg 49%

a) What are the frequencies of genes G and g?
b) What is the percentage of hybrids?

Answer 1

You should use theCastle Hardy Weinburg Equation:

\[1 = p^2 + 2pq + q^2\]

Where p is the frequency of the dominant allele and q is the frequency of the recessive allele.
