Practice question
Question
Below are the numbers of individuals of migratory green warblers and the frequencies of three genotypes at a single locus for this species. F refers to the allele for faster migration and S to the allele for slower migration. What are the allele frequencies of F and S? (round off to 2 decimal places)
Explanation
The principle of Mendelian segregation explains that allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Hence Allele frequency of F = 0.69 and allele frequency of S = 0.31 fits best because it follows segregation and linkage principles, as documented in authoritative sources on genetics.
