. Nowadays, newborn babies are required to be tested for phynylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. If untreated, individual homozygous for PKU suffer mental retardation. In a recent year, 4 PKU babies were detected out of 126,000 tested. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg conditions, what is the frequency of the PKU gene in this population (Give your answer in decimal number with 3 decimal places)?
