This is in regard to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; there are two questions.
If the frequency of the genotype B1B1 is 0.4, the frequency of B1B2 is 0.2 what is the frequency of B2B2?
I answered 0.4.
Â
What is the allele frequency for B1 and B2 in Q 6?
I answered 0.63, as I figured the frequency for the allele B1 was the square root of the allele frequency for B1B1 (as p is the square root of p^2 in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium). This is clearly not the right answer as the square root of f(B2B2) is also 0.63, and f(B1) added to f(B2) should equal 1. What am I doing wrong?
