Question

In a population which is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of occurrence of a disorder caused by recessive allele (q) is 1 in 1100. The frequency of heterozygotes in the population will be ______________. (Give the answer to three decimal places).

Explanation

This outcome reflects Mendelian segregation, where allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Option NAT captures this correctly because it follows segregation and linkage principles, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in genetics.
