In Americans, the frequency of albinism is 1 in 20,000 people
(1 / 20,000 = 0.00005). Albinism is a recessive disease (singlegene, 2 alleles).What is the ratio of heterozygous carriers ofalbinism to homozygous recessive individuals (i.e. people withalbinism)?
The answer is: 281: 1
My question is in regards to how to solve this problem utilizingthe Hardy Weinberg Equation( Assign phenotypes to each of p^2, 2pq,and q^2.)
