Aspecies of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. the allele for long legs is dominant, and is represented by p. the allele for short legs is recessive, and is represented by q. if 33 of 100 organisms have short legs, what is p? p+ 2pq + oʻ= 1 apex

Explanation:

Given -

Allele for long  legs is dominant, and is represented by p

Allele for short  legs is recessive, and is represented by q

Given , 33 of 100 organisms have short legs

According to hardy Weinberg's equilibrium equation -

Here represents the frequency of species with short legs.

Thus,

Hence, frequency of recessive allele "p" is equal to

As we know
