It was asking about allele frequencies for prostate cancer for allele B. AA = 30 AB = 25 BB = 45 For some reason, these questions always stumble me. Thanks

I Instatewaiter But... there's a troponin Account on Hold 15+ Year Member Jun 14, 2008 #2 there are 60 As from AA (30 x 2) there are 25 As from AB (25 x 1) There are 25 Bs from AB (25 x1) There are 90 Bs from BB (45 x 2) So total there are 60+25+25+90 possible single alleles out there so 200 Frequency of A is 85/200 Frequency of B is 115/200 Upvote 0 Downvote
