A trait has two alleles represented by p and q If p equals 0.68 what is q?

Q is represented as follow: q = 1 - 0.68 = 0.32


What is the difinition of alleles?

An allele is a form of a gene. For example, the allele B may lead to black fur and the allele b may lead to white fur. Both B and b are alleles for fur colour.In general notation, dominant alleles are written with a capital letter (eg. B, T, P) and recessive alleles are written with a lower case letter (eg. b, t, p). A person will have two alleles (one from each parent) for every gene. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles.


What do mutations do to alleles?

Generally, gene frequency will not change significantly unless the mutation is successful and advantageous enough that it is heavily selected in the population. Since most mutations result in failure of the organism to thrive (death, reproductive failure, etc.) they have little or no effect on a population's gene frequencies. Even if the mutation has no apparent detrimental effects it will, itself remain in the population at a low frequency unless it enhances the organism's ability to reproduce within the population.


Why is there a difference in the number of alleles for hemophilia and redgreen colorblindness between males and females?

There is a difference in the number of alleles for hemophilia and red-green colorblindness, because when a carrier of protanomaly has a child with a deuteranomalic man. Denoting the normal vision alleles by P and D and the anomalous by p and d, the carrier is PD pD and the man is Pd. The daughter is either PD Pd or pD Pd. Suppose she is pD Pd. Thanks...
