Solution
In a population, the frequency of heterozygous individual is 42%. It means 2pq = 0.42. Hence, pq = 0.21 = 0.7 x 0.3.
Hence, we can say that p = 0.7 and q = 0.3.
Now, the frequency of homozygous dominant phenotype = p
2
= 0.7
2
= 0.49 = 49%.
Similarly, the frequency of homozygous recessive phenotype = q
2
= 0.3
2
= 0.9 = 9%.
Hence, frequency of individual with recessive phenotype is 9% and frequency of individual with homozygous dominant phenotype is 49%.
