Question

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: P (dominant) and p (recessive). Only homozygous individuals that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. If the p allele is found in 11 percent of the population, what percentage of the population is carrying the P allele?

A. 94 percent
B. 67 percent
C. 89 percent
D. 11 percent

Answer 1

C, because if this question is as simple as it looks then it should be a basic mathematical equation just worded in a certain way to make u confused so if 11% of the population was recessive then 89% should be dominant
