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

Chapter 7, Problem 47

(choose chapter or problem)

Hardy-Weinberg Law Common blood types are determined genetically by the 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 Hardy-Weinberg Law states that the proportion P of heterozygous individuals in any given population is modeled bywhere p represents the percent of allele A in the population, q represents the percent of allele B in the population, and r represents the percent of allele O in the population. Use the fact that (the sum of the three must equal 100%) to show that the maximum proportion of heterozygous individuals in any population is
