Question

A species of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. The allele for long

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Hardy Weinberg law (p+q)2=1 where p is fequency of one allele and q is the frequency of another allele.

Explanation:

According the question

 q represent the short legs and 33 of 100 organism have short legs.

    As a result the frequency of q with respect to the 100 organism is 33/100

                                                                                                                   =0.33

Therefore q=0.33

     we all know that

                   (p+q)2=1

              ∴  p+q= 1

              ∴  p=1-q

                   p= 1-0.33

                    p=0.67

The frequency of p is 0.67
