Answer:
a. purple allele (C) = 0.609, pink allele (c) = 0.391
b. purple homozygotes = 371, pink homozygotes = 153, heterozygotes = 476
Explanation:
Given -
Purple flowers - 847
Pink flowers - 153
The frequency of recessive genotype i.e
Frequency of recessive allele i.e q is equal to
As per hardy Weinberg's first equilibrium equation -
Frequency of purple homozygous species
Number of purple homozygous species
Number of pink homozygous species
Heterozygous species is equal to
