One population X has 750 AA, 0 Aa, and 250 aa; the other Y has 500 AA, 500 Aa, and 0 aa. After one generation of random mating, the genotype frequencies X and Y respectively if the population size remains 1,000.

 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?
