Question

A fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. The green allele is recessive, and is represented by q. The blue allele is dominant, and is represented by P. If 44 of the 100 organisms are green, what is P?

Answer 1

0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

P+Q = 1 ( You have 2 alleles)

0.44 of the population has recessive phenotype so is:

`q {}^(2)`

`q = radq {}^(2) = rad0.44 = 0.663`

`p = 1 - q = 0.336 = 0.34`
