Question

For a given population, consider a gene locus in HWE with two alleles labeled O and U. If the U allele occurs in the population with a frequency of 0.44, then: A. The heterozygote frequency is 0.493. B. The heterozygote frequency is 0.194. C. The UU genotype frequency is 0.314. D. The O allele frequency is 0.66. E. All genotype frequencies cannot sum to 1.00.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D the frequency of O allele is 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D because

A the heterozygote frequency is 0.55.

C the UU genotype frequency is 0.44.

D O allele frequency is 0.66.

E All genotype frequency sums up to 1.
