In this beetle population, the total number of alleles is . 4. The frequency of the brown allele in this beetle population is . 5. The frequency of the green allele in this beetle population is .

The given question is incomplete as the detail of the population was not given, however, the correct diagram related with the question is attached with the

The correct answer is -

brown alleles

8

20

0.4

0.6

Explanation:

1. To calculate the frequency of the brown allele, count the number of BROWN ALLELES and divide by the total number of alleles in this population

2. In this beetle population, the number of brown alleles = 8  represented by genes with the black color segment.

3. In this beetle population, the total number of alleles for both colors = 20

4. The frequency of the brown allele in this beetle population = 0.4

5. The frequency of the green allele in this beetle population = 0.6
