Question

a fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes and green allele is recessive and is represented by Q the blue a little is dominant and is represented by P if 11 of 100 organisms are green what is Q

Answer 1

Q²= 11÷100= 0.11
Q= √0.11= 0.33

Answer 2

The alellic frequency for green-eyed trait, Q = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

• Population size: 100 individuals.

• Q is the recessive allele for green-eyed color

• P is the dominant allele for blue-eyed color.

• Green-eyed individuals´ genotypic frequency, Q² = 11/100 = 0.11

This is the proportion or frequency of the green-eyed genotype in a population, denoted as (QQ) that equals Q².

• Allelic frequency for green-eyed trait, Q = √Q² = √0.11 = 0.33

This is the proportion of a specific allele, in this case, Q, respect to the pool of alleles. Results are expressed in proportions, so the sum of every allelic frequency for one locus equals one.
