Question

Antigens on red blood cells are hereditary traits that allow blood to be typed in different ways. One system is based on a gene with two alleles, M and N. If the frequency of the M allele in a population is 0.4, then according to the Hardy-Weinberg rule, the expected frequency of the heterozygous MN genotype is ___.

Answer 1

Antigens on red blood cells are hereditary traits that allow blood to be typed in different ways. One system is based on a gene with two alleles, M and N. If the frequency of the M allele in a population is 0.4, then according to the Hardy-Weinberg rule, the expected frequency of the heterozygous MN genotype is 0.48.
