If a particular characteristic was the result of the recessive allele, then the frequency is represented by __. If one in 25,000 people has the characteristic how would you determine the frequency of the allele in the population.
q². 1/25000 = q². q = 0.00063. p = 1.0 - 0.00063 = 0.9937. Heterozygous = 2pq = 0.0125. 313 in 25000 carry the allele for the characteristic.
