Hi Guys,

Please help with this problem:


The frequency of daltonism (XR) in males is 0.08
a) Calculate frequency of heterozygous females.
b) What is the probability of mating of affected male with non-related heterozygous woman?
c) What is the frequency of mating of affected male with heterozygous woman in the population?

My Solution:
a) 2pq = 2 (0.92) (0.08) = 0.1472
b) 2pq x q = (0.1472) (0.08) = 0.011776
c) I don't know what's the difference between (b) and © ???
