Aplant has two alleles for color. the red allele is recessive and is represented by q. the purple allele is dominant and is represented by p. if 59 of 100 organisms are red, what is q?

The correct answer is- 0.768

Explanation-

According to Hardy-Weinberg law,

p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1

where p² is the frequency of homozygous dominant population, q² is for homozygous recessive population, and 2pq depicts heterozygous dominant population.

According to the given information, the red allele is recessive and is represented by q.

We have given frequency of red population that is

q² = 59/100 = 0.59

We can calculate recessive allele frequency using it as q is the frequency of recessive allele.

Thus, q= √0.59

           =  0.768.

Thus, the value of q is 0.768

.77
