- With what was given, we can find q by taking the square root of .384 which is .619.
- From q, we can find p by subtracting .619 from 1.00 which is .381.
- We can square p to find p2, which is .145.
- With all of the information we have, we can find 2pq by multiplying 2 times p times q which is .471.
What does it mean?
- What was given was q2, which is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
- From that we got q, which is the frequency of recessive alleles.
- Then we found p, which is the frequency of dominant alleles.
- From p we found p2, which is the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals.
- Once we found 2pq, we found the frequency of heterozygous individuals.
