Answer and Explanation:

To calculate the allele frequency in the population, we divide the number of occurrences of the particular allele by total number of all alleles in the population Allele frequencies can be represented as a decimal, a percentage, or a fraction.

Given the population of white (W) and black (w) sheep, 22 out of 244 sheep are black, the frequency of the dominant allele in the population = 222/244×100=

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder that is expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous dominant genotypes. Since two affected parents have a normal girl child, both the parents should be heterozygous carrier for the disease.  Let's assume that the dominant allele "A" is responsible for the disease. Genotype of both the parents of the girl would be "Aa". The genotype of girl with normal stature is "aa". Genotype of her normal partner is "aa".

A cross betwee aa X aa would get all the progeny with "aa" genotype. Therefore, all of their children would have normal stature and there is 0% probability for them to have a child with achondroplasia.
