0.36

Explanation:

For the recessive trait to show in the phenotype, the individual has to be homozygous recessive for the gene. Therefore if we designate the allele for White color as <em>r</em> and that of Brown as <em>R</em>;

<em>rr </em>= 16% = 0.16   → This is the gene frequency for recessive population

To find the allele frequency

√0.16

= 0.4

Remember the hardy Weinberg principle of allele; All allelic frequency of a gene adds up to 1 in an ideal population (that observes certain assumptions).

p + q = 1

p + 0.4 = 1

p = 1 – 0.4

p = 0.6

The allelic frequency of Brown hair is 0.6.

The frequency of individuals of a homozygous dominant genotype will be;

P² + 2pq + q² = 1

0.6 * 0.6 = 0.36

Which blood type can be transfused into a patient who has blood type A–?
Oksana_A [137]

For a person with blood type A- (A negative),  they can be transfused with either  blood type A negative  , or blood type O negative.

This is because any other blood type will immediately be rejected by their body.

A person with blood type A negative has got antibodies against any other blood type which has a rhesus positive factor as well as antibodies against  any other blood type of a different group such as B and AB, even if they are  rhesus negative.

Therefore because of the rhesus negative factor, a person with blood type A negative  can only be transfused with rhesus negative .
