Show transcribed image text In a large, randomly mating herd of cattle, 16% of the newborn calves have a certain type of dwarfism. This dwarfism is due to homozygosity of the recessive allele. Assuming two alleles at the locus and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium genotype frequencies: What is the overall frequency of heterozygous carriers in the herd? Among the cattle that are nondwarfs, what is the proportion of carriers?
