Answer:
The alellic frequency for green-eyed trait, Q = 0.33
Explanation:
- Population size: 100 individuals.
- Q is the recessive allele for green-eyed color
- P is the dominant allele for blue-eyed color.
- Green-eyed individuals´ genotypic frequency, Q² = 11/100 = 0.11
This is the proportion or frequency of the green-eyed genotype in a population, denoted as (QQ) that equals Q².
- Allelic frequency for green-eyed trait, Q = √Q² = √0.11 = 0.33
This is the proportion of a specific allele, in this case, Q, respect to the pool of alleles. Results are expressed in proportions, so the sum of every allelic frequency for one locus equals one.
