ABSTRACT

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the study of the distribution of allelic and genotypic frequencies in a population. The objective of this study is to evaluate the allelic and genotypic frequency of different qualitative traits of men and women in Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 909 individuals were recruited for this study. In population, the frequency order of the blood group is B > O > A > AB and the same in both males and females. Rh-positive is more elevated (86.03%) than the negative (13.97%) in the whole population. Tongue rolling ability is higher in both males (58.92%) and females (61.46%). The presence of free earlobe (71.29%) and straight hairs (52.81%) is more in the whole population. Straight hair is more common in the population than the wavy (30.14%) and curly (17.05%), the male and female order is the same as in the whole population. In the whole population, the ear lobe is non-significant but other traits are significant. This study indicated that the alleles for the ear lobe are in equilibrium in the population, based on a Mendelian ratio. Hence, only the ear lobe follow the Mendelian ratio in the population of Punjab, Pakistan.

摘要

Hardy-Weinberg平衡是对人群中等位基因和基因型频率分布的研究。这项研究的目的是评估巴基斯坦旁遮普邦男女不同定性特征的等位基因和基因型频率。本研究共招募了909个人。在人群中，该血型的频率顺序为B> O> A> AB，男性和女性均相同。在整个人群中，Rh阳性比阴性（13.97％）更高（86.03％）。男性（58.92％）和女性（61.46％）的舌头滚动能力都较高。在整个人群中，自由耳垂（71.29％）和直发（52.81％）的存在更多。直发比波浪形（30.14％）和卷曲（17.05％）在人群中更常见，男性和女性的顺序与整个人口中的顺序相同。在整个人群中，耳垂并不重要，但其他特征也很重要。这项研究表明，根据孟德尔比率，耳垂的等位基因在人群中处于平衡状态。因此，在巴基斯坦旁遮普邦，只有耳垂遵循孟德尔比率。
