a. Consider a population in which the frequency of allele B is p=0.7, and the frequency of the allele b is q=0.3. If W BB= 1, W Bb= 0.9, and W bb= 0.8, what will be the frequency of B after one generation?
b. If the allele frequency for a dominant allele is 0.84, what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele?
A.
B. Frequency of dominant allele(p) + Frequency of recessive allele(q) =1
0.84 + q =1
q = 1- 0.84 = 0.16
Thus, the frequency of recessive allele is 0.16.
