In a randomly mating population of mice, 3 out of 200 mice are anemic. Anemia is a recessive condition where the affected mice do not have enough red blood cells to carry the required oxygen molecules to the tissues.  What is the expected frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype for anemia in this population?

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
