In a typical Mendelian population, individuals carrying gene ‘a’ in homozygous condition suffer from phenylketonurea. Those with A in homozygous condition are normal. Others, who are heterozygotic with Aa, are carriers. If the frequency of ‘a’ in a population is 0.20, what is the percentage of normal individual in the population?
