In a Classroom Taste Test for PTC the Genotype Frequency

question 35

Multiple Choice

In a classroom taste test for PTC the genotype frequency was determined to be P = 0.35 and Q = 0.65.After applying the Hardy-Weinberg equation, the percentage of genotypes was found to be as follows:

• A)p2 = 0.12; 2pq = 0.46; q2 = 0.42.
• B)p2 = 0.35; 2pq = 0.00; q2 = 0.65.
• C)p2 = 0.12; 2pq = 0.65; q2 = 0.23.
• D)p2 = 0.20; 2pq = 0.20; q2 = 0.60.
