Question

The frequency of the red eyes (p allele) in fruit flies is 63% what is the frequency of the white eye allele (9 allele)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$q = 37\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red Eyes

$p = 63\%$

Required

Determine Frequency of White Eyes (q)

In probability;

$p + q = 1$

Make q the subject

$q = 1 - p$

Substitute 63% for p

$q = 1 - 63\%$

$q = 37\%$
