Hardy Weinberg Problem Set View the Dragons below and fill out the chart to the right. The winged trait is dominant. P^2+2pq+q^2 = 1 and p +q = 1 p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population p^2 =percentage of homozygous dominant individuals q^= percentage of homozygous recessive individuals 2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Solution

X:WINGLESS DRAGON

\'-\': WINGED DRAGON

See the arrangement below:

Total Dragons=21

Winged Dragons=14 (count all -)

Wingedless Dragons=7 (count all X)

Given,

The winged trait is dominant.

7 out of 21 are aa = q² =7/21= 0.33

q²(aa)=0.33

q(a)=0.58

p=1-0.58=0.42

p(A)=0.42

p²(AA)=0.18

2pq=2*(0.42)*(0.58)=0.49(heterozygotes)

2pq(Aa)=0.49

The frequency of heterozygote dragons in the population= 0.49 or 49%
