Question

Imagine the following genotype frequencies in a population: p2 = 0.49, 2pq = 0.42, q2 = 0.09. Now assume that there is nonrandom mating where individuals with one genotype will only mate with individuals that also have their genotype. Assume this pattern of mating goes on until the frequency of heterozygotes is effectively zero. What will the frequency of allele p be in the population? 0.49 0.91 0.3 1.0 0.7

Answer 1

frequency of allele  = Square root (p^2)

= Square root (0.49)

= 0.7
