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.

Answers

Answer 1

The generation that showed the greatest frequency of having one of each allele is generation 3.

In the given table, the frequency of the dominant allele (p) and the recessive allele (q) is provided for each generation. The frequency of having one of each allele can be calculated by multiplying the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles.

In generation 1, the frequency of having one of each allele is 0.60 * 0.40 = 0.24.

In generation 2, the frequency is 0.64 * 0.36 = 0.23.

In generation 3, the frequency is 0.75 * 0.25 = 0.1875.

In generation 4, the frequency is 0.80 * 0.20 = 0.16.

Therefore, generation 3 has the greatest frequency of having one of each allele, with a frequency of 0.1875.
