It adds bases in only one direction.
Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is
dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)
Y = 85% = 0.85 and
y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15
f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 =
0.387
frequency of the allele that causes
orange eyes = 0.387
Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1
Putting the value of y, we get
Y = 1 – 0.387
<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that
causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>
<span>Meiosis in simple terms is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) fuse together to produce a fertilised egg. Haploid is a word that refers to how many chromosomes a certain cell has. In this case the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number a normal cell has. A normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes. So in meiosis the two gametes come together with their hapoid number of chromosomes each to create an egg that has a diploid (standard) number of chromosomes.</span>
