Chapter 23.1, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction

To determine: The Hardy-Weinberg equation (relation between alleles and genotype frequencies) for gene that exists in three alleles designated by A1, A2, and A3 in population in which A1, A2, and A3 is represented by p, q, and r respectively.

Introduction: The Hardy-Weinberg equation represents a mathematical model in which a single gene exists in two different forms of alleles represented by p and q. This equation is derived from the fact that at the time of fertilization, alleles combine randomly when diploid offspring are produced.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype frequencies of A2A2 homozygotes and A2A3 heterozygotes.

Introduction: The Hardy-Weinberg equation represents a mathematical model in which a single gene exists in two different forms of alleles represented by p and q. This equation is derived from the fact that at the time of fertilization, alleles combine randomly when diploid offspring are produced.
