In a population of 100 individuals, we have 25 people that are homozygous AA, 50 people that are heterozygous Aa, and 25 people that are homozygous aa. How many A alleles are in the homozygous AA group?

Answer :

Answer:

50 A alleles

Explanation:

Since the question only wants information regarding the homozygous AA group, the information pertaining the other two groups may be disregarded.

Each individual with the AA genotype has two A alleles. Therefore, if there are 25 individuals that are homozygous AA, the number of A alleles in this group is:

[tex]n = 25*2=50\ A\ alleles[/tex]

There are 50 A alleles in in the homozygous AA group.

The number of A alleles that are in genotype AA group is 50 A alleles.

Based on the information given we were told that 25 people are genotype AA group.

Since each human with genotype AA have two dominant alleles which means that the number of A alleles that are in the AA group is 50 which is calculated as:

A alleles= Genotype AA × 2 dominant alleles

A alleles= 25 people× 2 dominant alleles

A alleles= 50 A alleles

Inconclusion the number of A alleles that are in the AA group is 50 A alleles.
