The allele frequency for the recessive allele is B. 0.10. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

The Hardy-Weinburg equation is p + q = 1, or p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p is dominant and q is recessive.

If 10 out of 100 rabbits have white fur, 10% of the rabbits have white fur. Therefore, 90% of the rabbits have brown fur, which can be substituted into the first equation to becoming 0.9 + 0.1 = 1. Now that we know what p and q equal, we can solve the rest of the equation.

0.9^2 = 0.81

0.9 * 0.1 * 2 = 0.18

0.1^2 = 0.01

Therefore, the allele frequency of the recessive allele is 0.1.

KonstantinChe [14]
The hormone described above is the hormone Melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, which helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. This rhythm is an internal 24 hour clock that plays a critical role when we fall asleep and when awake. When it is dark the body releases more melatonin.
