Question

Given that the frequency of the wild type allele CCR5 (+) = .791 and the frequency of the CCR5 32 mutant allele = 0.209 in the Ashkenazi population, what are the genotype frequencies with respect to the CCR5 gene in this population? A. You cannot determine genotype frequencies given only allele frequencies. You need more information B. +/+ = 0.044; +/32 = 0.331; 32/32 = 0.626 C. +/+ = 0.626; +/32 = 0.331; 32/32 = 0.044 D. +/+ = 0.626; +/32 = 0.631; 32/32 = 0.644 E. +/+ = 0.333; +/32 = 0.331; 32/32 = 0.333

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Genotype frequencies with respect to the CCR5 gene in this population

Option C. +/+ = 0.626; +/32 = 0.331; 32/32 = 0.044
