A fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. The green allele is recessive, and is represented by Q. The blue allele is domi
Kruka [31]

The value of Q is 0.44 if 20 organisms of 100 organisms are green.

Explanation:

Data given:

alleles for the color of eyes of fly:

blue allele = dominant represented by P

green allele = recessive, represented by Q

total number of organism = 100

number of recessive trait organism, q^{2} = 20

Q =?

The allele frequency of the green eye is calculated as:

\frac{total number of recessive alleles}{total number of all alleles}

= \frac{20}{100}

q^{2}= 0.2

q = \sqrt{0.2}

q = 0.44

0.44 is the frequency of Q allele in the population.

Q is the homozygous recessive alleles in the population and its value is 0.44.
