population= 1000
q² (Frequency of Homozygous Recessive Individuals)= .02
q (Frequency of Dominant allele)= .14
p² (Frequency of Homozygous Dominant Individuals)= .74
p (Frequency of Recessive allele)= .86
2pq (Frequency of Heterozygous Individuals) = .24
- Heterozygous Individuals in population= 240
- Homozygous Recessive Individuals in population= 20
- Homozygous Dominant Individuals in population= 740
Steps:
1. Take square root of q² to get q.
√q² = q
2. Subtract the q value from 1 to get p.
1-q = p
3. Square p to get p².
p x p = p²
4. Multiply 2 times the values p & q to get 2pq
2 x p x q = 2pq
5. Multiply q² by 1000(population) to obtain the frequency of HomozygousRecessive individuals.
Multiply p² by 1000 to obtain the frequency of Homozygous Dominant individuals.
Multiply 2pq by 1000 to obtain the frequency of Heterozygous individuals.
