You’re interested in population of pangolins (scaly anteaters) and find that 49% of individuals have the homozygous recessive genotype (pp) for the gene of interest. You as well find that there are only two phenotypes for this trait, suggesting that the allele “P” is totally dominant over allele “p.” Given this, find out the following:
The expected frequency of each and every allele:
Recessive allele (p) =
Dominant allele (P) =
The expected frequency of each genotype:
Homozygous recessive (pp) =
Homozygous dominant (PP) =
Heterozygous (Pp) =
The frequency of each phenotype:
Recessive phenotype =
Dominant phenotype =
