Question

In Drosophila, the red eye phenotype (W) is dominant over the recessive white eye mutant (w). In a mixed population of red and white eye flies of 10,000 individuals, 3,600 flies were white eyed. The percentage of the heterozygous red eye flies in this population is

Explanation

Evidence for Mendelian segregation indicates allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Option NAT aligns with this, as it follows segregation and linkage principles, reflecting standard interpretations in genetics. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
