Hardy Weinberg

If 98 out of 200 individuals in a population express the recessive phenotype, what percent of the population would you predict to be heterozygous?

• 70%

• 30%

• 42%

• 49%

In a population of humans, the frequency of no dimples is 0.36. If having no dimples is the recessive phenotype, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?

• 0.6

• 0.36

• 0.64

• 0.18
