The value is used for the term p^2 in the equation p^2+ 2pq + q^2 = 1 is 0.16.
According to the statement
we have given that the allele frequency of the dominant allele is 0.4, and we have to find that the value of p^2 in the equation p^2+ 2pq + q^2 = 1.
So, For this purpose, we know that the
The allele frequency represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. Alleles are variant forms of a gene that are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.
And here
allele frequency is the 0.4 and represent the value of P.
So, The value of p is 0.4 and the
Then p^2 = (0.4)^2
so, the value becomes
p^2 = (0.4)^2
p^2 = 0.16.
So, The value is used for the term p^2 in the equation p^2+ 2pq + q^2 = 1 is 0.16.
