The correct answer is E)52
When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in this case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. Let's put that A is dominant and a is recessive allele. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we have:
p²+2*p*q+q²= 1 p+q=1 p=1-q
f(a) =0.4=q q²=0.4²=0.16=16%
p= 1-0.4=0.6 p²=0.6²=0.36=36%
Percentage of a homozygous genotype in the population is 16%+36%=52%
Answer:
alleles-one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
dominant- The dominant allele of the gene is inherently dominant,so it hides the presence of the recessive allele
heterozygous-having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
homozygous-a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes
recessive-A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene
Sex linked traits are found on the X chromosome
