Practice question
Question
In a population which is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of a recessive allele for a certain genetic trait is 0.40. What percentage of individuals would be expected to show the dominant trait in the next generation?
Explanation
In genetics and biotechnology, metabolic engineering and inheritance dictates that exogenous gene introduction and pathway extension enable trait improvement. Therefore 84% is correct as it demonstrates metabolic extension and combinatorial biosynthesis, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
