The frequency of autosomal alleles k and k in a large population of snails is 0.6 and 0.4. what is the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote kk if the inbreeding coefficient (f) was 0.3?
a. 0.48
b. 0.34
c. 0.14
d. 0.30
e. 0.24

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F =

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 =

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

i believe it is c: genes for body color and wing size are inherited separately from each parent.

the atomic number of magnesium is 12. its nucleus must contain 12 protons and no electrons. the atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons.

magnesium is an electrolyte injection commonly used to treat low magnesium levels in your blood. it is also used to prevent or control seizures in women with preeclampsia or eclampsia.
