Since diploid organisms have two copies of each chromosome, they have two of each gene. Since genes come in more than one version, an organism can have two of the same alleles of a gene, or two different alleles. This is important because alleles can be dominant, recessive, or codominant to each other.

If a population of 1,000 individuals has 160 rr genotypes, assuming simple dominance by the A allele, what is the frequency of t

Ratling [72]

Answer:

<h2><em>To find the answer, I must 160/1,000 = .16, so .16 = q2 and q = .4. Since p + .4 (q) = 1, p (The dominant allele) = .6, which is the correct answer. A strategy I could use in the future to make the question less challenging is double checking the problem and how it is worded so I don’t make that mistake again.</em></h2>
