In aluminium fluoride, aluminium carries positive charges so fluoride should carry negative charge to be electrically neutral.So for aluminium ion with three positive charges fluoride ion should possess three negative charges to make aluminium fluoride electrically neutral.

$AlF_{3}$ → $Al^{3+} and F^{3-}$

For a gene that determines wing color in butterflies, there are three possible genotypes: BB (blue wings), bb (white wings), and

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: The frequency of the b allele is calculated as follows: since there are 2 alleles in each organism, total number of genes is 200. The number of white alleles is 10*2+30 (since there are 2 copies of the alleles in white organisms and 1 copy of the b allele in the white wings with blue blotches). So the total number of white alleles is 20+30=50 white alleles. The frequency of the white allele is then 0.25. So the frequency of the blue allele is 1-0.25=0.75. Since heterozygous term is 2*p*q, the frequency of the Bb genotype is 2*0.25*0.75=0.375. Hope that helped!
