Question

In a population, the frequency of the blue eye allele is 0.49. What is the expected frequency of individuals with blue eyes (an autosomal recessive phenotype) after one generation of mating between full siblings (F=0.25)? Enter your answer to the nearest 0.01.

Step 1

Given that the frequency of the blue eye allele (q) is 0.49, we can calculate the frequency of individuals with the blue eye allele as q^2 (since it is an autosomal recessive trait). q^2 = 0.49^2 = 0.2401 Show more…
