Answer:

0.483

Explanation:

The given population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the gene has two alleles, the sum total of the frequencies of these two alleles will be one.  

Therefore, the total of the frequency of allele B and frequency of allele b will be 1. f(B) + f(b)=1

If the frequency of allele "B" is 0.59, then the frequency of allele "b" will be=1-0.59= 0.41

The frequency of heterozygous genotype in the population= 2pq

p= frequency of the dominant allele

q= frequency of the recessive allele

So, 2pq= 2 x 0.59 x 0.41 = 0.483

What type of selection relates to the average birth weight of humans babies?
vovangra [49]
<span>Human weight at the time of birth is influenced by stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection, also known as negative selection, purifying selection or normalizing selection, is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decays according to a particular value of the character. This is the most common mechanism of action of natural selection.</span>
