In pea plants, purple flower color, C, is dominant to white flower color, c. The table shows the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles in three generations of peas in a garden. Allele Frequency for Flower Color in Peas Generation p q 1 0.60 0.40 2 0.64 0.36 3 0.75 0.25 4 0.80 0.20 Which generation showed the greatest frequency of having one of each allele? generation 1 generation 2 generation 3 generation 4

generation 1

Explanation:

The allele frequency is a term that represents the frequency that an allele can appear in a given population. This term can help to develop conclusions about the genetic diversity that a region presents in relation to the individuals that compose it.

In relation to the question above, generation 1 had the highest frequency of having one of each allele. This is because this generation presents the maximum frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles in a coherent way, 0.60 and 0.40. However, the other generations showed a steady and progressive decrease in the recessive allele.
