Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive trait resulting in extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight in affected individuals. If the number of Xeroderma pigmentosum (pp) individuals in a particular population is 11%, 1. What is the frequency of the recessive allele in the population?
2. What is the frequency of the hom ozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals?
3. If the number of Xeroderma pigmentosum individuals goes from 11% to 6% then 3% over 3 generations, what does this indicate?
4. What is the frequency of the dominant allele if 3% of the population has xeroderma pigmentosum?
5. Predict a reason why this change in the number of individuals may have occurred over 3 generations.
