The frequency of carriers of the albino allele in the
population is. If
To solve this problem, we need to consider the Hardy-Weinberg
equation which is the following:
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
where: p = frequency
of the "A" allele
q = frequency of the "a"
allele
In other words, p^2 refers to the frequency of the
homozygous(dominant) genotype AA, q^2 represents the frequency of the
homozygous(recessive) genotype aa, and 2pq represents the frequency of the
heterozygous genotype.
In the problem, if q = 0.01, and p = 0.99, then the
frequency of carriers is 2pq which then becomes 0.0099 x 2. Thus, the predicted
frequency of Caucasians in the U.S. who carry a single albino allele is 0.0198.
A. China.
if you look at the picture I added, you can see that Korea is located south of China.
