The correct answer is E)52
When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in this case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. Let's put that A is dominant and a is recessive allele. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we have:
p²+2*p*q+q²= 1 p+q=1 p=1-q
f(a) =0.4=q q²=0.4²=0.16=16%
p= 1-0.4=0.6 p²=0.6²=0.36=36%
Percentage of a homozygous genotype in the population is 16%+36%=52%
the answer is definitely C
It would be fish! And out of all the fish (bass) have the lowest energy level. ✔
The possible inheritance pattern might be that the colors are governed by just one gene with multiple alleles. There could be simple dominance and incomplete dominance factors as well given the 5 flower color characteristics.
