An autosomal locus has alleles A and a.

The frequency of individuals with the autosomal recessivephenotype is given. Which statements are true? (pick allthat are true)

HWE= Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

1. We can calculate q=Freq(a) even if we don'tassume Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

2. Even if we don't assume HWE, we can calculate the genotypefrequencies that we weren't given

3. If we assume HWE, we can calculate the genotype frequenciesthat we weren't given

4. If we assume HWE, we can calculate both allelefrequencies

5. We can calculate both allele frequencies even if we don'tassume HWE.
