If a trait is determined by two alleles, the sum of p and q is 1. Why is this true?

The value of q is

q = 0.10

Explanation:

The sum of the frequency is equal to 1.

Therefore, we have the following equation:

p + q = 1

Substituting values we have:

0.90 + q = 1

Clearing the value of q we have:

q = 1 - 0.90

q = 0.10

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

clumped distribution, because you'de have all of the population gathered in a relatively small are.

it's the most common because it provides protection and a mate for reproduction

example: humans, seeweed, cattles, etc.
