Question

In a certain population of rabbits, the allele for brown fur is dominant over the
allele for white fur. If 60 out of 100 rabbits have white fur, what is the allele
frequency for the dominant allele?​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think so the answer is 0.4

My dear frnd. plz refer to the pic.

Answer 2

0.4 is the allele frequency for the dominant allele.

Explanation:

Data given:

alleles for brown fur is dominant

alleles for white fur is recessive

q-value (recessive trait) = 60 or 0.6

p-value (dominant trait)  = ?

from the equation

p+q=1  

Putting the values in the equation to get frequency of dominant allele of brown fur.

p+0.6 = 1

p = 1- 0.6

p = 0.4

the frequency of dominant brown fur is 0.4 and the number of rabbits will be 40 in population of 100 with brown fur.
