Solution

The frequency of a genotype is calculated by dividing the number of individuals with that genotype by the total number of individuals in the population.

In this case, the number of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36 and the total number of individuals in the population is 100.

So, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36/100 = 0.36

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.36.
