Problem: In humans, the allele for dwarfism (D), an adult height of less than 4 feet 10 inches, is completely dominant and will result in individuals with dwarfism in both the homozygous dominant and heterozygous cases. Suppose you look at a population of 50 individuals and notice that all of the individuals are taller than 5 feet. What is the frequency for the dwarfism allele in this population?
