Genotype Frequency

... 336 can taste PTC, a dominant trait. a) What are the allele frequencies? b) What are the expected numbers of people in the population for each genotype? a) 500-336=164 recessive, aa. 164/500=33% of the population is recessive. p+q=1, so x+.33=1, x=.67 or 67% dominant. Is this correct? b)AA ...
