The frequency of Jka gene is 0.52 and the frequency of the Jb gene is 0.48. What is the frequency of the Jk(a+b-)phenotype
p = .52 (Jka frequency)
p2 = (.52)2 = .27 or 27%
In a given population, 16% of individual are tested as Rh negative. What is the gene frequency of the D gene?
q2 = dd = .16
√.16 = q = 0.4
p+q = 1
1 - 0.4 = p = 0.6 is the gene freq for D
A population of donors is tested for Fya and Fyb. Of the 1000 donors tested, 66% tested positive for the Fya antigen. What is the frequency of the FyaFyb genotype?
