Question

The following genotypes are found in a population: AA/35, Aa/25, and aa/10. What are the allele frequencies of A and a ?

• A. A = 0.32, and a = 0.68
• B. A = 0.36, and a = 0.63
• C. A = 0.68, and a = 0.32
• D. A = 0.63, and a = 0.36

Hint:

To quickly double-check your calculations, always ensure that $p + q = 1$. This simple step helps eliminate options where the sum of the two allele frequencies is not equal to 1.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
