Question

A distinctly large population of randomly mating laboratory mice contains 36% albino mice, which is caused by a double recessive genotype (aa). The black coloured mice in the population is due to dominant genotype (AA/ Aa). Considering the fact that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of heterozygous alleles (Aa) in this population is __ (round off to 2 decimal places).

Explanation

Understanding Mendelian segregation reveals allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Therefore Option NAT is correct because it follows segregation and linkage principles, which underpins key processes in genetics. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
