Biology

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

As per the first equation of equilibrium of Hardy Weinberg, the sum of frequencies of alleles at the locus is equal to unity.  

Thus,  

If "p" represents the frequency of dominant allele, "q" represents the frequency of recessive allele and at equilibrium

p + q = 1\\

Let us assume that value of q is given in question which is equal to 0.12

On substituting the given values in above equation we get -

p + 0.12 = 1\\p = 1-0.12\\p = 0.88

Hence, option A is correct

Which of the following is the correct explanation for linked genes?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Genes are inherited together on the same chromosome.

Explanation:

An independent array of genes has to have different chromosomes or to be sufficiently far on the same chromosome to allow for crossing. The associated genes are in the same chromosome and have no overlap. Together they are transferred to the daughter cells.
