Brachydactyly is a condition caused by an allele dominant to wild-type in humans, in which the fingers and toes are shortened. In a population of 10,000 people, 1,600 are BB, 4,800 are Bb, and 3,600 are bb. A) What percentage of people in this population have short fingers and toes?
B) What is the frequency of the b allele?
C) Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

A) 64% of the population have short fingers and toes (BB + Bb)

B) q = 0.6

C) Yes, the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
