Offspring with a 3:1 ratio suggest that both parent that both parent that give rise to this offspring were both heterozygous. Heterozygous individual is someone who has two different allele at a locus whereby by one gene is dominant over the other gene. example of heterozygous parent is a parent Aa pair of alleles. In this pair gene A is dominant over gene a
Answer:
1128.
Explanation:
The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.
The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918
.
Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918
The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.
the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.
The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38
The heterozygous frequency = 2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47
.
The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.
Thus, the answer is 1128.
