Assuming Hardy Weinberg's Principle, in a certain population, the frequencies of three genotype are as follows: 
Genotypes AA Aa aa
Frequency 22% 62% 16%

What is the likely frequency of 'A' and 'a' alleles? 
1. 53% and 47% 
2. 40% and 60% 
3. 50% and 50% 
4. 30% and 70%

A gene locus has two alleles A, a. If the frequency of dominant allele A is 0.4, then what will be the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population?

1. 0.16 (AA); 0.36 (Aa); 0.48 (aa)

2. 0.36 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.16 (aa)

3. 0.16 (AA); 0.24 (Aa); 0.36 (aa)

4. 0.16 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.36 (aa)
