This would be probably true if the assumption that all possible genotypic variations would be equally distributed (so we would have 25% HH, 25% hh and 2x 25 Hh). If this distribution would be true and Huntingtons disease really was a single gene dominant trait diesase, then yes, we could expect such a distribution in the population.

"tall" "purple" and "wrinkled" are examples of Dominant Recessive Genotypes Phenotypes​
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Phenotypes

Explanation:

'Phenotype' is just a fancy way of saying 'what an organism looks like'.  Those words describe an organism's physical appearance and not its genetic makeup--that's its genotype.  

You can remember it this way:

Inga [223]

Answer:

I would write "terrestrial/lives on land during all life stages" between the frog and pigeon branches.

Explanation:

Jaw evolution has started with fish, so i'd place that before the perch, evolution of four limbs is next and I would plate it between the perch and the frog. Evolution of an egg has ensured that organisms remain terrestrial during all stages of life and don't need to rely on water to lay their eggs. So I would place that between the frog and the pigeon. True mammary glands and true hair, as we know it formed on mammals so i'd place that between the pigeon and the rats (although synapsids evolved similar structures long before birds even existed). And lastly, I would place "walking on two legs" between rats and human branches. Because our ancestors evolved bipedalism relatively late.
