Hardy-Weinberg Law Common blood types are determined genetically by three alleles A, B

Chapter 13, Problem 20

(choose chapter or problem)

Hardy-Weinberg Law Common blood types are determined genetically by three alleles A, B, and O. (An allele is any of a group of possible mutational forms of a gene.) A person whose blood type is AA, BB, or OO is homozygous. A person whose blood type is AB, AO, or BO is heterozygous. The HardyWeinberg Law states that the proportion of heterozygous individuals in any given population is where represents the percent of allele A in the population, represents the percent of allele B in the population, and represents the percent of allele O in the population. Use the fact that to show that the maximum proportion of heterozygous individuals in any population is 2/3.
