Question

In a population of peas there are three genotypes and phenotypes at the following frequencies. Dark green (GG) = 0.36; Light green (Gg) = 0.24; and white (gg)= 0.4. the population is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium what will be the frequency of light green plants in 10 generations

Answer 1

In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of genotypes and phenotypes remain constant from generation to generation. To find the frequency of light green plants (Gg) in 10 generations, you can use the initial frequency of Gg (0.24) as follows:

In each generation, the frequency of Gg remains the same, which is 0.24. So, after 10 generations, the frequency of Gg will still be 0.24.
