A geneticist discovers a flower that has two colour variations, red and blue. It is known that this is a
dominant/recessive trait involving two alleles. When two blue flowers are crossed, they always produce
blue flowers. When two red flowers are crossed, they produce red flowers and sometimes blue flowers. Counting the flowers reveals that 510 flowers are red and 490 flowers are blue.

1. Which flower colour is dominant? Explain

2. What proportion (expressed as a decimal) of the flowers are blue?

3. What is the frequency of the gene for blue flowers in this population?

4. What is the frequency of the gene for red flowers?

5. What is the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals in the population

6. What is the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population?

7. What is the percentage of homozygous recessive individuals in the population??
