Answer: a. 0.000420

b. 0.00430

c. 0.0001361

d. 0.00619

Step-by-step explanation:

heterozygous formula(2pq)

a. This locus has 2 alleles, so use the heterozygous formula(2pq)

2pq=

2(0.0106)(0.0198)=

0.00041976=

0.00041976=0.000420 ==> round to 3 sig figs

b. This locus has 2 alleles that are equal, so use the homozygous formula(p^2)

p^2=

0.0656^2=

0.00430336=

0.00430336=0.00430 ==> round to 3 sig figs

c. This locus has 2 alleles, so use the heterozygous formula(2pq)

2pq=

2(0.0005)(0.1361)=0.0001361

d. This locus has 2 alleles that are equal, so use the homozygous formula(p^2)

p^2=

0.0787^2=

0.00619369=

0.00619369=0.00619 ==> round to 3 sig figs
