In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 16% of the individuals exhibit the recessive trait (ss).
a) What is the frequency of the dominant allele (S) in the population?
b) What percent of the population possesses the dominant allele (S)?
The frequency of children homozygous for a recessive lethal allele is about 1/25,000. What proportion of the population are carriers of the lethal allele?
