Answer:

d.0.48

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:

freq (AA) = p²

freq (Aa) = 2pq

freq (aa) = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.

In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.

Therefore:

q²=16/100

q² = 0.16

q=√0.16

q = 0.4

And p+q=1, so:

p = 1 - q

p = 1-0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of heterozygotes is:

freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6

freq (Aa) = 0.48
