allele not genotype. (genotype % below) out of 100 people 9% homo
reces = 9 people rr 42% hetero = 42 people w/ Rr ?% homo dom?= ?
people w/ RR Genotype = 2 alleles. allele frequency = # of allele /
all possble alleles at that locus 9 aa = so two aa per person. 2x 9 =
18 total a alleles 42 Aa = one a per person AND one A per person 42 a
and 42 A 42% + 9% + X% = 1. (hardy w.) so AA = 49%. sample = 100 then
49 people have AA. 49 people AA = two A per person. 49 x 2 = 98 A
total. + 42 = 140/200 ales
