Question

biology math
There are 100 people in a population. 64 of them are tasters. ( tasting is a dominant trait)


________ give the % of the gene pool of the T allele
_______ give the % of the gene pool of the t allele
_______ how many people are homozygous tasters?

please show me how to do them, I need to know them for a quiz

Answer 1

well, 64 out of 100 is 64%

Answer 2

help me if you know how, i need to know how to do it.


i have the solutions, but i don't know how to do it.

40% T
60% t
16 people are homozygous tasters

_________

this may help

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population
q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population
p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals
q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals



i tried it, but i didn't get the same solutions :(
