Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

At a particular locus, frequency of 'A' allele is 0.6 and that of 'a' is 0.4. What would be the frequency of heterozygotes in a random mating population at equilibrium?

A

0.16

B

0.48

C

0.36

D

0.24

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The frequency of heterozygotes (Aa) is calculated using 2pq, where p = 0.6 and q = 0.4. Thus, 2pq = 2(0.6)(0.4) = 0.48.
