In a population of mice, the presence of black spots is the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the

allele for this condition is 0.15, what is the approximate percentage of heterozygous genotypes in this mouse population? (Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.)
12%
26%
72%
85%

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The predicted genotype of the offspring is GgRr.

Explanation:

The gray body is dominant over black body. The genotype of gray body is GG and the genotype of black body is gg. Red eyes are dominant over orange eyes. The genotype for red eye is RR whereas the genotype of orange eye is rr.

GGRR is crossed with ggrr, the offspring produced by this cross is GgRr with gray body and red eyes.

GGRR  ×   ggrr

 GgRr.
