Protanopia is a form of color vision deficiency caused by mutations in the OPN1LW gene on the human X chromosome. In 2016, Sajid et al. (Pakistan J Zool 48:1045-1049) reported that the frequency of protanopia among females in the Pakistani city of Quetta was 0.6%. If you assume the population of Quetta is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of protanopia among males in the city? O 7.7% O 1.2% O 0.0036% 0.3% O 94.4%
