In a particular species of frogs, black spots are a dominant trait and their absence is a recessive trait. In a population of fr

ogs, 50 are homozygous for the dominant trait, 34 are heterozygous dominant, and 16 show the recessive trait. Which expression is the correct way to calculate the frequency of the dominant allele?
A. 50/100

B. 84/100

C. 50/200

D. 134/200

E. 100/200

The expression which is the correct way to calculate the frequency of the dominant allele is 134/200. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What is Allelic frequency?</h3>

The allelic frequency may be defined as the sum total of all the alleles of a gene in a population. It represents the overall genetic diversity within a population.

The allelic frequency is calculated by the formula when the genotypes are given in number. It is as follows:

2 × Number of Purebred dominant + Number of heterozygous/ 2× Total number of individuals in a population.

∴ Allelic frequency of dominant allele = 2 × 50 + 34/ 2× 100 = 134/200 = 0.67.

The allelic frequency of the Dominant allele is 0.67 while the allelic frequency of the recessive allele is 0.33.

Therefore, it is well described above.

What this student thought was happening is called spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation is a body of thought on the ordinary formation of living organisms without descent from similar organisms

HOWEVER, the student was wrong because it is impossible for organisms to be spawned out of nothing. The organisms appeared due to bacteria on the meat and in the air.
