Question:medium

In a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype (AA) is 0.64, what is the frequency of the dominant allele (A)?

Show Hint

Always distinguish between allele frequencies (\(p\), \(q\)) and genotype frequencies (\(p^2\), \(2pq\), \(q^2\)).
Taking the square root of the homozygous dominant genotype frequency (\(p^2\)) directly yields the dominant allele frequency (\(p\)).
  • 0.0064
  • 0.32
  • 0.8
  • 0.4
