A plant has two alleles for color. The red allele is recessive, and is represented by q. The purple allele is dominant, and is represented by p. If 59 of 100 organisms are red, what is q? P^2 2pq q^2=1

q is 0.7681

Explanation:

The red allele is recessive, and is represented by q.

If 59 of 100 organisms are red meaning the frequency of the recessive genotype of red is 59/100 = 0.59 represented by q².

Thus q would be to find the square root of q². Where q is the frequency of the recessive allele in the population

Thus, q = √q² where q² = 0.59

q = √0.59

q = 0.7681
