Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the frequency of the dominant phenotype will be 75%. The dominant phenotype can be heterozygous or homozygous-TT, Tt, and Tt as shown above in the table. So the frequency obtained of the dominant allele is 50%.
Detailed explanation-2: -To determine q, which is the frequency of the recessive allele in the population, simply take the square root of q2 which works out to be 0.632 (i.e. 0.632 x 0.632 = 0.4). So, q = 0.63. Since p + q = 1, then p must be 1-0.63 = 0.37.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : The given frequency of a dominant phenotype is 75% and, therefore, its recessive will be 25%.
Detailed explanation-4: -Another aspect of alleles and segregation is the concept of allele frequencies within a population. On an individual level, a person has a 0.5 chance of passing on one of two alleles for a given gene.
