According to Hardy- Weinberg principle, if the frequency of one allele in a population with two alleles is 0.7 at a particular locus, then the frequency of alternate allele is 0.3.
What is Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium?
- Hardy- Weinberg rule states that in the absence of disturbing factors, the genetic variability in a population remains constant in different generations.
- It states that when mating is random both the genotypic and allelic frequencies remain constant as they are in equilibrium.
- Hardy- Weinberg rule applies to a large population where mating is random and there is no migration.
- It is given by p + q = 1, where p is the frequency of dominant allele in the population, q is the frequency of recessive allele in the population.
- By squaring, p2+ 2pq+ q2= 1, where p2 is percentage of homozygous dominant individuals, q2 is percentage of homozygous recessive individuals. 2pq is percentage of heterozygous individuals.
- Here given, p= 0.7, therefore q= 1- 0.7= 0.3
