Question 1

HWE applies to autosomal genes with 2 alleles. How are allele frequencies calculated by the HWE?

Answer 1

p = frequency of A

q = frequency of a

p + q = 1

Question 2

HWE applies to autosomal genes with 2 alleles. How are genotype frequencies calculated by the HWE?

Answer 2

A/A = p^2

A/a = 2pq

a/a = q^2

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

Question 3

The human MN bloop group is controlled by blank on chromosome 4q31
