A population has two alleles B and b. The allele frequency of B is 0.7. What is the genotypic frequency for the heterozygote Bb?

Don't know what any of the terms mean, by I'm guessing the math operates like probability -- multiply to determine the probability of a particular outcome
.49 chance of BB (.7 x .7)
.09 chance of bb (.3 x .3)
.42 chance of Bb (2 x .7 x .3, since Bb and bB are the same).
Those numbers look good to me, it is just like probability; check the link. New: These numbers can be calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg principle. Immagine the allele frequency of B=p and the frequency of b=q. The following equations can be used to calculate genotype frequencies: a) p+q = 1
b) p2+2pq+q2 = 1 This is often used to calculate gene frequencies. Note that in order for this principle to apply, a population muct be in equilibrium!

What a heterozygous?
Having different alleles at one or more corresponding chromosomal loci.Of or relating to a heterozygote
What is heterozygote?
Heterozygotes is a genotype that can also be called a hybrid. example Rr this means that the alleles are different.
