Question

If the allele for an attached earlobe (e) is recessive to the allele for an unattached earlobe (E), what will be the relative frequency of e in a population?
a. It could be more or less frequent than T.
b. It could only be equally as frequent as T.
c. It could only be more frequent that E.
d. It could only be less frequent than T.

Answer 1

Answer: option A

Explanation: As demonstrated by the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the dominance or recessiveness of an allele does not determine its frequency in a population.
