NEET 2019 Zoology Population Genetics MCQ Question
A gene locus has two alleles A, a. If the frequency of dominant allele A is 0.4, then what will be the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population?
0.16 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.36 (aa)
0.16 (AA); 0.36 (Aa); 0.48 (aa)
0.36 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.16 (aa)
0.16 (AA); 0.24 (Aa); 0.36 (aa)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using Hardy-Weinberg principle: p = 0.4, q = 0.6. Homozygous dominant (AA) = p² = 0.16, heterozygous (Aa) = 2pq = 0.48, homozygous recessive (aa) = q² = 0.36.
