Calculate allele frequency: If there are 40 butterflies in a population and 27 of them are yellow, what is the yellow allele frequency?

The frequency of the yellow allele in the 40 butterflies is:

Explanation:

The allelic frequency or genetic frequency is the variant of a gene found in a population.

The sum of the variants of the recessive gene with the normal ones of the population of the dominant gene give 1 (Or 100% of the population)

If a group of 40 butterflies has a dominant gene that makes them yellow, then:

Yellow: Aa. That is the dominant color of butterflies.

Another color: aa. That would the recessive color be in the butterflies.

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.
