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
2 answers:
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, = 20
Q =?
The allele frequency of the green eye is calculated as:
=
= 0.2
q =
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.

The correct genotypes of the parents are ggrr for yellow pods with wrinkled seeds and GgRr for <span>heterozygous for green pods with round seeds.
If the heterozygous individuals for both traits express have green pods and round seeds that tells us that these traits are dominant.
In the gross presented below, you can see that the offspring will have 4 different genotypes, all present in an equal percentage:
</span><span>gGrR 25%
</span><span>gGrr </span>25%
<span>ggrR 25%
</span><span>ggrr 25%</span>
