Answer:
Option (b).
Explanation:
The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.
The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:
F =
Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.
Put the values in the above formula
0.3 =
H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.
Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
