If 70 percent of the hypothetical population passed along allele b, the dominant allele for brown eyes, and 30 percent passed al
ong allele b, the recessive allele for blue eyes, the proportion of the subsequent generation with brown eyes would be ___________, given the hardy-weinberg equilibrium.
Dominant phenotype will be expressed on homozygous dominant(BB) and heterozygous(Bb) type. Using hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the percentage of individual with brown eye would be: homozygous dominant= BB= 70%*70%= 49% heterozygous = 2Bb= 2* 70%*30%= 42%
Total brown eyes= homozygous dominant+ heterozygous Total brown eyes= 49%+42%= 91%
