using the data given below??

Question

of a theoretical bacterial or insect species, calculate the p and q frequencies for each of the three generations starting populations, assuming the resistant allele is recessive??????????????

data


a) 3 resistant individuals and 53 non resistant individuals

b) 13 resistant individauls and 43 non resistant individuals

c) 53 resistant individuals and 3 non resistant individuals.

i would really appreciate ur help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx

Answer 1

Assuming p = frequency of dominant allele and q = frequency of recessive allele

a) q = the square root of 3/56 = .23
p = 1-q = .77

b) q = the square root of 13/56 = .48
p = 1-q = .52

a) q = the square root of 53/56 = .97
p = 1-q = .03
