Question

A given autosomal locus has three possible alleles (A1, A2, and A3). Assuming that the numbers of individuals with the six possible genotypes are as follows, what would be the frequency of the A1 allele in the population?  

A1A1 = 30 A1A2  = 27 A2A2 = 12

A1A3 = 17 A2A3   = 10 A3A3 = 4

What is the frequency of A2 allele in the population?

  A.

0.74

  B.

0.175

  C.

0.375

  D.

0.52

  E.

0.305
