Answer:
0.00995
Explanation:
If the population is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, the sum total of frequencies of the alleles of a locus would be one. The frequency of one allele for a locus is 0.005. So, the frequency of the other allele for the same locus would be=1-0.005= 0.995
According to the given information, there are only two alleles for the locus in the population. So, the frequency of heterozygous genotype in a population= 2 x frequency of one allele x frequency of other allele= 2 x 0.005 x 0.995= 0.00995
