Explanation:
ANSWER
In the given problem, the number of organisms having recessive character are 8 out of 200, that is 4%.
Frequency of homozygous recessive (q
2
) = 0.04.
Therefore, frequency of recessive allele (q) = 0.2.
Therefore, frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8.
Hence, the percentage of dominant alleles in a population = 0.8 * 100 = 80%.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
