A sizable population was analyzed for SNPS in a certain DNA region. Four possible variant alleles were found, with the following frequencies: SNP 1frequency = 0.91 SNP 2 frequency = 0.03 SNP 3 frequency = 0.03 SNP 4 frequency = 0.03 If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the total frequency of heterozygotes at this SNP locus?
