Question

I don’t understand this can someone please help me fast, this is due soon pleaseee.

In another population, the white spot allele frequency is 0.55. What percentage of the moth population has white spots?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 30.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Allele frequency in a population is the number of a particular allele in the population divided by the total number of all alleles present in the population for the particular gene.

The population has the allele frequency or q = 0 .55

So, the percentage of the white spots moth in this moth population would be -

q^2 = (0.55)^2

q^2 = 0.3025

q^2 = 0.0325 *100

= 30.25 %
