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 0.6 0.4 2 0.7 0.3 3 0.8 0.2 Which scientific question might these results cause a scientist to ask?
1)Which population most likely experienced a genetic mutation?
2) Why do some pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers? 3)Would the frequency of alleles change if the pollinators in the area all died?
4) Is there another way to calculate the frequencies of the alleles in this population?
