Question

With respect to a certain gene, geneticists classify individuals as dominant, recessive, or hybrid. In an experiment, individuals are crossed with hybrids, then their offspring are crossed with hybrids, and so on. For dominant individuals, 90% of their offspring will be dominant, and 10% will be a hybrid. For the recessive individuals, 90% of their offspring will be recessive, and 10% hybrid. For hybrid individuals, (to be crossed with hybrids) their offspring will be 25% dominant, 65% recessive and 10% hybrid. In the long run, what percent of the individuals in a generation will be dominant? In the long run, the percent of the dominant individuals in a generation will be %.

Explanation / Answer

Percent of dominant individuals in long run

= 0.90*0.25

= 0.225

= 22.5%

So, answer is 22.5%
