The Hardy Weinberg principle states that the genotype frequencies of two alleles at a locus, A and a are: AA = p2, Aa = 2pq and aa = q2 if the population frequencies of A and a are p and q respectively. If the population frequency of an autosomal recessive gene is p = 0.1, what is the frequency of carriers of this condition in this population?
