Afly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. the green allele is recessive and is represented by q. the blue allele is dominant and is represented by p. if 44 of 100 organisms are green, what is p?

Explanation:

Given -

Green allele is recessive and is represented by "b"

Blue allele is dominant and is represented by "B"

Also out of organisms, are green in color. Thus,  all these organism would have genotype "bb"

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation , frequency of "bb" is represented as

Thus frequency of allele "b" would be equal to

As per first equation of Hardy Weinberg-

Frequency of allele "B" will be equal to

Substituting the value of q, we get

meiosis is the first to occur after the nuclei of opposite of opposite mating types fuse
