Question

If the frequency of a dominant allele in a population in equilibrium is 0.35, then the frequency of the corresponding recessive allele in the same population is:

Answer 1

Answer:0.8775

Explanation:formula for gene frequency is p+q=1

where p is the dominant allele and q is the recess allele.

Given than p=0.35

P^2=0.35^2=0.1225

q=1-p

q=1-0.1225=0.8775

Answer is 0.8775
