The frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition is 0.04 in a population. assuming this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, what is the allele frequency of the recessive allele? the frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition is 0.04 in a population. assuming this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, what is the allele frequency of the recessive allele? 0.2 0.4 0.64 0.8 not enough information is provided.

Option E, Not enough information is provided.

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition

As per Hardy Weinberg's principles, frequency of carriers is represented by

The second equation of Hardy Weinberg's principle states that -

Thus, we have only one component i.e and no other values of p or q. Thus, the information provided is not sufficient to solve the question.

Option E, Not enough information is provided.
