Question

A) a moth has two alleles for spots. it can have brown or white spots. the brown spot allele frequency is 0.53. what is the white spot allele frequency?

Answer 1

0.47 is the white spot allele frequency.

Answer 2

Answer: White spot allele frequency for moths is 0.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Alternative forms of a gene are called alleles; all sexually reproducing organisms have two alleles - one inherited from each parent.

The allele (version of the gene) for dark body color is dominant, which means that a moth possessing at least one such allele will have a dark body. To have a light body, the moth has to have both alleles for light body color.

Is the same case for the spots, white spot allele frequency for moths is 0.47.
