Answer:
The correct answer is - 0.91.
Explanation:
Given that C is dominant over c with an allelic frequency of 0.7. The sum of the frequency of dominant alleles and the frequency of heterozygous alleles in this H-W population of angiosperm will be the expected frequency of red-flowered plants.
The frequency of C = 0.7
(p² = dominant allele frequency)
Then, the frequency of dominant genotype CC would be = 0.7×0.7 (p² = dominant allele frequency)
As we know that P + q = 1
then q = 1 - p
q (frequency of recessive allele) - 1 - 0.7
q = 0.3
Then frequency of heterozygous genotype Cc= 2pq
= 2×0.7×0.3
= 0.42
The frequency of red flowers = freq of CC + freq of Cc
= 0.49 + 0.42
= 0.91
Given that C is dominant over c with the frequency of 0.7
The sum of the frequency of dominant allele and heterozygous alleles in this H-W population of angiosperms expected frequency of red-flowered plants.
frequency of C = 0.7
[tex]p^{2} =dominant allele[/tex]
CC= 0.7 × 0.7
[tex]p+q =1\\q= 1- p\\= -1-0.7\\=0.3\\[/tex]
Then frequency of genoype = Cc= 2pq
= 2×0.7×0.3
= 0.42
[tex]frequency of red flower = freq of CC + freq of Cc[/tex]
= 0.49 + 0.42
= 0.91.
It is a principle that states genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next generation in the absence of disturbing factors.
Hence concluded that the frequency of red-flowered plants = 0.91
