Question

A gardener plants 200 flowering plants of the same species. 98 plants have white (v) flowers and the remaining have violet (V) flowers. What must be the allelic frequency of each type of flower? ( p + q = 1, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1)

Answer 1

The first thing to do is figure out the frequency of the white and violet flowers. You have 200 total, so:

white = number white / number total
violet = (number total - number white) / number total
