Question

In a human population of 100 people at a blood locus there are two alleles M and N. The observed genotype frequencies at this locus are f(MM) = 0.26, f(MN) = 0.35 and f(NN) = 0.39 What is the frequency of the N allele in this population ? Do not assume HW equilibrium.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.565

Explanation:

allele frequency for N = 0.39 + (0.5 x 0.35)

                                     = 0.565
