Random mating among genotypes
- Let us suppose that Mandelian population has the genotypes AA, Aa and aa in the frequency p2 , 2pq and q2
- Since, the mating among genotypes are assumed to be random, the frequency of mating between male and female gametes will be product of frequencies of concerned genotypes in the population.
Genotype AA Aa aa
Frequency p2 2pq q2
Frequency of AA progeny = p4 + 2p3q + p2q2 = p2( p2 + 2pq + q2) = p2 [ (p+q)2 = 1]
Frequency of Aa = 2p3q + 4p2q2 + 2pq3 = 2pq ( p2 + 2pq + q2) = 2pq
Frequency of aa = p2q2 + 2pq3 + p 4 = q2(p2 + 2pq + q2 ) = q2
