Question

In four o’clock plants, there are three phenotypes for flower color but only two alleles. In one population, q2 = 0.169, and the population is assumed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The table below shows the number of plants of each phenotype that are expected in a population of 1,000 plants in the next generation.
Phenotype
Number expected
Red flowers
105
Pink flowers
484
White flowers
411

In the next generation, what p value is expected?
0.105
0.411
0.516
0.589

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer would be 0.589

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is p + q = 1

In addition, the frequencies of p and q in a Hardy-Weinberg population remain the same generations over generations.

The value of q⁸ is given as 0.169

So, the value of q =  ⇒ 0.411

Thus, the value of p = 1 - 0.411 ⇒ 0.589.

So, the expected value of p would be 0.589
