And for that population size (25), what is the standard type. What is the formula?

1. Average of fixed allele in a particular population is given by the formula:

P = 1/(2N), where P is the probability, N is the population size = 25

therefore, average fixed allele = 1/ ( 2 x 25)

= 1/50

2. The standard type is given by the formula p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, p is allele A (homozygous) while q( recessive) is allele a

therefore (1/50)2 + 2(1/50)q + q2 = 1

= 1/2500 + (1/25)q + q2 = 1

= 1- (1/2500) = (1/25)q + q2

= 1 -0.0004 = (1/25)q + q2

= 0.9996 = (1/25)q + q2

=> 0.9996 = 0.04q + q2
