Answer:

The correct answer would be 9%.

As the population is in genetic equilibrium, then the population must be following the Hardy-Weinberg equations:

p + q  = 1 and

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

The frequency of A (dominant allele) in a population is 70 percent.

Thus, the value of p would be 70/100 which comes out be 0.7

Similarly, the value of q would be equal to 0.3

The frequency of individual with homozygous recessive genotype, that is, aa would be equal to q².

So, q² = (0.3)^{2} ⇒ 0.09

Thus, the frequency of individual with genotype aa would be equal to 9 percent.

9%

Why?
The frequency for allele a is 30% or 0.3. Let's call this frequency p.
p^2 would then represent the frequency of genotype aa (this is is derived from the formula p^2+2pq+q^2=1 where p and q represent alleles a and A respectively. So p^2=aa, pq=Aa and q^2=AA)
0.3^2=0.09 or 9%

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

C) genetic drift.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change in the frequency of alleles in a population due to random sampling. Many circumstances can lead to genetic drift for example bottleneck effect, founder effect, etc.

The bottleneck effect occurs when most of the members of a population die because of any natural disaster like flood, fire, etc. This can cause a certain allele to be lost in the remaining population because of losing major populations. So here due to hurricane half of the mammal population gets eliminated which shows it is an example of the genetic drift.
