Apopulation of pea plants has 25% dwarf plants and 75% tall plants. the tall allele, t, is dominant to dwarf (t). what percentage of tall plants is heterozygous?

Here we would be using Hardy Weinberg equation for the calculation of allele and genotypic frequencies.

Dwarf genotype frequency = = 25% = 0.25

Frequency of allele t = q = = = 0.5

According to the equation,

p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Now, the frequency of heterozygous tall plants would be-

2pq = 2 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.5 or 50% heterozygous tall plants.

answer; the correct answer is (beta)

scientists have discovered that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's direct effect on the host's immune cells, but rather through the cells' lethal influence on one another. researchers from the gladstone institutes have revealed that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's
