In a population that meets the hardy-weinberg equilibrium assumptions, 81 percent of the individuals are homozygous for a recessive gene. what percentage of the individuals would be expected to be heterozygous for this gene in the next generation? (enter only a number in the box below.)

19%

Explanation:

Weinberg equilibrium assumption is that the allele frequency remains the same from generation to generation.

thus, since the percentage of homozygous is 81 and that of heterozygous is 19%. going by the Weinberg assumption, it will remain the same in the next generation.

in a word, a scientific question is testable. a testable question is one that asks about objects, organisms or events found in the world around it
