A population of diploid organisms is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the frequency of allele A is 0.1 , the frequency of AA is __________.

Step-by-step solution

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the frequency of the homozygous genotype AA is given by p^2 , where p is the frequency of the allele A. Given p = 0.1 . Frequency of AA = p^2 = (0.1)^2 = 0.01 . Answer: 0.01
