Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele

(a). what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?

Frequency of the Rh-positive allele

Explanation:

Given-

A represents the dominant gene i.e Rh-positive

a represents the recessive gene i.e Rh-negative

It is given that 84% of a population is Rh-positive. This means that 84% of a population will have genotype either Aa or AA

Now as per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

 is the frequency of Aa or AA genotype

is the frequency of aa genotype

Frequency of recessive allele

As per first equation of HW equilibrium -

Substituting the value of q in above equation , we get

this protocol provides a detailed procedure for chromatin immunoprecipitation (chip) to study the dna-protein interactions.
