Question

A garden plants 200 flowering plants of the same species. 98 plants have white (v) flowers and the remaining have violet (V) flowers. What must be the allelic frequency of each type of flower? ( p+q=1, p^2 +2pq+ q^2=1)

( This symbol ^ means squared)

A. Violet flowers= 0.55, white flowers= 0.45
B. Violet flowers= 0.62, white flowers= 0.38
C. Violet flowers= 0.3, white flowers= 0.7

Answer 1

None of those choices are right so something must be wrong with the information.. bc if white is recessive you already know that q^2 would be = to .49 since 98/200 is .49
