Question

A trait has two alleles, represented by p and q. If p = 0.89, what is q?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.11

Explanation:

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, it's stated that the sum of the two alleles must be 1.

In this case, we've been given that a trait has two alleles, represented by p and q and p is given as 0.89, then the value of P will be:

p + q = 1

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.89

q = 0.11

Therefore, q is 0.11
