Accepted Answer

***D*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹To find the frequency of heterozygotes in a population, we use the Hardy-Weinberg principle. Given the frequency of affected individuals (q² = 1/14,000), we can find q and then use $2pq$ to find the frequency of heterozygotes.⚹◊What is the probability of an individual being a heterozygote for Hartnup disease in the population based on the given frequency of affected newborns?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
