Question

In a population 36% people have blue eyes what will be the allele frequency for blue eyes?

Answer 1

in a given population, 16% if the population has blue eyes and 84% has brown eyes.


Although eye color is a polygenic trait, let us assume for this problem that the brown-eyed allele is dominant to the blue-eyed allele and that the population is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium.

Answer 2

If both parents have blue eyes, the children will have blue eyes. The brown eye form of the eye color gene (or allele) is dominant, whereas the blue eye allele is recessive. If both parents have brown eyes yet carry the allele for blue eyes,  a quarter of the children will have blue eyes, and three quarters will have brown eyes. It occours due to recessive trait. BB/Bb is for black eye. bb is for blue eye. Hence it occur due to 'b' chromosome.
