3. 360 out of 1000 individuals in a population have a genotype of AA while 480 have Aa genotype The rest 160 belong to aa Frequency of allele A in this population is

A 0.7 B 0.6 C 0.5 D 0.4

4. A gene locus has two alleles A and a If the frequency of dominant allele A is 4, then the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population is
