Regarding a particular trait in a population of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta), 14% of the turtles have the homozygous dominant genotype, 70% are heterozygous, and 16% are homozygous recessive. What is the value of q2?Multiple choice question.0.700.160.140.4
Question
Regarding a particular trait in a population of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta), 14% of the turtles have the homozygous dominant genotype, 70% are heterozygous, and 16% are homozygous recessive. What is the value of q2?Multiple choice question.0.700.160.140.4
Solution
The value of q^2 in a population genetics context represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype. In this case, 16% of the turtles are homozygous recessive. Therefore, q^2 is 0.16.
