Practice question
Question
In a random mating population, Y and y are dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. If the frequency of Y allele in both sperm and egg is 0.70, then the frequency of Y / y heterozygotes (rounded off to two decimal places) is ____
Explanation
Calculation based on standard genetics principles yields 0.42 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
