<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>
Explanation:
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency
Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by and
respectively
Given:
H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)
h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)
36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh () =36%
Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :
Frequency of genotype hh () will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6
Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6
