Let the frequency of the dominant allele be p
Let the frequency of recessive allele be q
We know that,
p + q = 1
The frequency of the dominant allele be 0.6 ( Given)
Thus,
0.6 + q = 1
=> q = 0.4
For a population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium,
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
Where,
p2 = frequency of homozygous dominant
2pq = Frequency of heterozygous
q2 = frequency of homozygous recessive
So,
Frequency of heterozygous = 2pq = {tex}2\times 0.6\times 0.4 = 0.48{/tex}
