a) Suppose the frequency of the recessive allele a for the recessive condition albinism is 0.2 Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. ai) What is the frequency of albinism in the general population? aii) What fraction of the population are carriers? b) In a large population of mice, 0.58 have the recessive genetic condition rsiancer (fictional). Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. What fraction of mice are carriers? Giver your answer with two digits parts the decimal point. c) In a large population of squirrels, 0.14 have the recessive genetic condition nlourianfilindr (fictional). Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in this population? Give your answer with two digits parts the decimal point.

c) In a large population of squirrels, 0.14 have the recessive genetic condition nlourianfilindr (fictional). Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in this population? Give your answer with two digits parts the decimal point.
d) In a large population of chimpanzees, there is a recessive genetic condition telactalase (fictional). Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. If the frequency of dominant allele is 0.77 then what fraction of the population has telactalase? Give your answer with four digits parts the decimal point.
