NEET Botany Multiple Alleles MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
If the frequency of the I^A allele in a population is 0.4 and the frequency of the I^B allele is 0.2, what is the expected frequency of individuals with blood type AB, given that the population follows Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A
0.08
B
0.16
C
0.24
D
0.32
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The frequency of individuals with blood type AB is computed as 2 * p * q, where p is the frequency of the I^A allele, and q is the frequency of the I^B allele. Therefore, the frequency is 2 * 0.4 * 0.2 = 0.08.
