Calculate the frequency of genotypes in a population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium with the allele frequencies of A=0.6 and a=0.4. Thus calculate the number of individuals with each genotype in a population of 150

A= 0.6 a= 0.4 p+q=1 where p=A and q=a p2+2pq+q2=1where AA=P2 Thus AA frequency in the population = 0.62= 0.36Aa=2pq Aa frequency in the population = 2(0.4 X 0.6...
