Organisms and PopulationMedium
Question
A population of diploid organisms is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the frequency of allele A is 0.1, the frequency of AA is $\_\_\_\_$.
Options
A.0.10
B.0.99
C.0.01
D.0.02
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of allele frequencies]
The frequency of allele $A(p) = 0.1$
As per the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,
Frequency of $AA = p^{2} = (0.1)^{2} = 0.01$
