Worked practice questions

In a population, 16% individuals show a recessive phenotype (aa). Under Hardy-Weinberg, the frequency of the dominant allele A is:

  1. 0.16
  2. 0.40
  3. 0.60
  4. 0.84
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 0.60

$q^2 = 0.16 \Rightarrow q = 0.40$. **So $p = 1 - q = 0.60$.**
