After grаduаtiоn, yоu аnd 19 friends build a raft, sail tо a deserted island, and start a new population totally isolated from the world. Four of your friends carry (are heterozygous for) the recessive allele for the cystic fibrosis gene. Persons who are homozygous for this recessive allele have the disease cystic fibrosis. What is the frequency of this recessive allele on your island?
