Question

In a population of lizards, the allele that causes red eyes (R) is dominant, while the allele that causes green eyes is recessive (r). If 72% of the lizards have red eyes, what is the frequency of the dominant allele?

Answer 1

first of all this should go into the biology section. but that said;

it's a long time i did something like this and have forgotten, maybe if you had a clue how to solve it, i could have some memory refresh on that... or you could also just go ahead to the biology section to ask there :)

Answer 2

yeah I know, no one is responding though there since theres like no one online

Answer 3

how urgent do you need the help? i'll have to do some revision to be able to help you

Answer 4

i think the answer is pretty straight forward though... don't you think?
dominant allele causes red eyes, 72% have red eyes, hence frequency of dominant allele = 72% = 0.72..... makes sense?

Answer 5

thats what i had, i just felt like it was too easy,,like a trick question

Answer 6

Answer 7

you're good to go :)
