Question

• In the population of 50,000 individuals if the
frequency of recessive allele for a character is
40% then find out the percentage of organism
having recessive character :-
(1) 16%
(2) 40% (3) 36% (4) 48%​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 may be I'm right!!!!!!!

ok

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of organism having recessive character would be 40%

Explanation:

We can solve this question by putting Hardy Weinberg equilibrium of a gene in a Population.

According to the question and Hardy Weinberg principle here we can see that recessive allele is only 40%. Therefore we can say that Q is equal to 0.4 whereas P is equal to 0.6.

Therefore, the frequency of recessive genotype will be $Q^{2}$ is equal to 0.16.Hence the total number of individuals who have recessive trait would be equal to 50,000 * 40/ 100

                  = 20000

Which came out to be 40% or recessive gene.

Therefore , the correct answer having recessive character would be 40% .
