The species shows two different color patterns; red flickers and yellow flickers. The trait is controlled by one gene and the red color pattern is dominant over the yellow. A survey of the flicker population found the following numbers of homozygous and heterozygous birds: homozygous dominant (RR) heterozygous (Rr) homozygous recessive (rr) 650 300 50 PAGINA 2 DE 3 33 DE 367 PALABRAS INGLES (ESTADOS UNI + 182% 816 PM 4/25/72018

Explanation / Answer

Assume that the gene coding for red flickers is “R” and the gene coding for yellow flickers is, “r,” and R is dominant over r.

The total number of population is = 1000

It is given that the number of RR individuals is = 650

So, the frequency of RR is (p2) = 0.65 (= 650/1000)

The number of heterozygotes (Rr) is = 300

So, the frequency of Rr is (2pq) = 0.30 (= 300/1000)

The number of “rr” individuals is = 50

So, the frequency of rr is (q2) = 0.05 (= 50/1000)

The frequency of R allele is = p2 + ½ (2pq) = 0.65 + 0.15 = 0.8

The frequency of r allele is = q2 + ½ (2pq) = 0.05 + 0.15 = 0.2
