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
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

The correct answer is- 1) 0.60, 0.40

Explanation-

Allele frequency is defined as a measure of relative frequency of a gene variant (allele) which is found at a particular locus in a population.

The value of allele frequency can be expressed as a percentage or fraction.

In the given question, allele frequency for flower color in peas is mentioned.

Option one represents maximum frequency of having one of each allele ( that is dominant and recessive) that is 0.60 and 0.40.

In other options, the recessive allele frequency is decreasing ( such as 0.36, 0.25, and 0.20)
