Question

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU SOLVE THIS. I do not simply want an answer. You are studying an enzyme in a large population of a newly discovered diploid plant. You have determined that there are 4 alleles for this enzyme. You designate the alleles C, R, A and P, you analyze 1500 plants and you obtain the following genotypes and numbers of each:
CC = 239
CR = 148
CA = 101
CP = 275
RR = 66
RA = 317
RP = 122
AA = 42
AP = 179
PP = 11
What are the allele frequencies based on your analysis of this population?

Explanation / Answer

for C = 478 + 148 +101+275 / 3000 = 0.334

FOR R = 132 + 317 + 122 / 300 = 0.190

FOR A = 84 + 179 / 3000 == 0.087

FOR P = 121 / 3000 = 0.040.
