The correct answer is tobacco.  

An agent that exhibits the tendency to modify the genetic material of a species, thereby resulting in mutation is known as a mutagen. Tobacco is a chemical mutagen. Tobacco smoke comprises a mixture of many chemicals that incorporates about 60 carcinogens, that is, the chemicals that can result in cancer.  

One of the examples is benzopyrene found in tobacco smoke, which has been found to result in mutations. Therefore, tobacco is regarded as a chemical mutagen.

What are the estimated allele frequencies in a population if the frequency of the dominant phenotype is 0.64 (Hint: handout to g
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

0.8 and 0.2

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg law states that the allele frequency of the population remain stable from one generation to next generation if no natural selection, drift or mutation occurs in the population.

Let p and q be the dominant and recessive frequency of the population respectively.

The dominant phenotype means p² = 0.64

p = 0.8

and we known that p + q = 1, in hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

0.8 + q = 1.

q = 0.2

Thus, the dominant allele is 0.8 and recessive allele is 0.2.
