Question

Imagine that a new species of frog has been discovered in South America. One of its genes controls whether or not it has red spots on its green body. The allele for red spots (R) is completely dominant over the recessive allele (r) for no spots. The frequency of the recessive allele (r) in the population is determined to be 0.2. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, use the Hardy-Weinberg equations to predict the percent of the next generation of frogs that will have red spots.

Answer 1

96 percent of the population will have red spots.

64 percent of the population will have red spots.

80 percent of the population will have red spots.

32 percent of the population will have red spots.
