Question

The genetic inheritance of blue eye color in humans behaves a lot like a simple recessive trait, though in truth, eye color is actually controlled by multiple alleles. As a simple model, assume that eye color is controlled by a single gene, where the allele, B, for brown eyes is completely dominant over the allele, b, for blue eyes. Given that a population's dominant allele frequency, p, is twice the recessive allele frequency, q, what percent of the population will have brown eyes but will still carry the blue eye allele?

44.4 percent

11.1 percent

22.2 percent

88.8 percent

Answer 10

Susan, some people post entire questions from their FLVS (and other online educational platforms) on this site and hope that someone will give them the answer instead of tutoring them. We are all happy to help tutor - not to provide answers outright.

It would help the tutors and people you are asking for help if, in addition to posting the problem, you indicated what aspect of it you don't understand and would like help with.

For example, can you interpret the info it gives you? Do you know how to set up the right equations to solve the problem?
