With respect to CpG islands in our genomic DNA, which, if any, of the following descriptions do not apply?

1) frequently occurring (there are about 30,000 in the human genome).

2) long DNA sequences (typically from 10 kb to 100 kb in length).

3) low CG dinucleotide frequency.

4) frequently associated with transcriptional start sites.

 In a human population, the gene frequencies of the alleles for the ABO system are as follows:

A = 29%                         B = 7%                                    0=64%

Assuming complete random mating and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

What are the blood type A frequencies in this population?

b. The population is randomly mating.

c. The population is large.

d. Locus is di-allelic
