Compute a population of 100 flowering plants contains 60 plants that are homozygous for orange flowers (oo), 30 plants that are heterozygous for orange flowers (oo), and 10 plants that are homozygous for white flowers (oo). determine the frequency of the o allele and the frequency of the o allele in this population. show your work.

The answer is; The frequency for allele O = 0.7746 while that of o = 0.2254

Well use the hardy Weinberg equation of a population at equilibrium; p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

In our case, p2 will be 60/100 = 0.6; therefore p = square-root of 0.6 = 0.7746

Remember also that the frequencies of alleles of the same gene add up to one (1); i.e p + q = 1

Therefore q = 1 – 0.7746 = 0.2254

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
