Answer:

p=0.9

Explanation:

The frequency of the different genotypes is as follows:

  • AA = 0.81
  • Aa = 0.18
  • aa = 0.01

There are 2 alleles for this gene, the dominant allele <em>A</em> appears twice in the homozygous dominant genotype and once in the heterozygous.

Then, the frequency of the <em>A </em>allele, <em>p</em>, can be calculated as:

p= freq(AA) + freq(Aa)/2

p= 0.81 + 0.18/2

p=0.9
