1% of golden lion tamarins have diaphragmatic hernias,

a condition expressed only in the homozygous recessive

genotype. Calculate the number of heterozygous individuals

in the wild population (N = 508). Assume Hardy-Weinberg

equilibrium and simple dominance.

Genotypes: AA Aa aa

F1 generation p2 = ? = f (AA)

2pq = ? = f (Aa) = H

q2 = .01 = f (aa)
