In a given population if the percentage of homozygous dominant genotype is 36% and the percentage of heterozygous genotype is 48%, what will be the percentage of homozygous recessive genotype

Respuesta :

The correct answer to the given question is 16%

What is the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype?

Let x be the percentage of homozygous dominant genotype= 36%

Let y be the percentage of homozygous recessive genotype= 48%

The total population present is 100%

Thus the percentage of Homozygous recessive genotype is

[tex]100 - (x+y)[/tex]

This equals to

[tex]100-(36 + 48)= 16[/tex]

Thus the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype is 16%
