Your answer is CORRECT na Stalk height in sunflowers is dete

Your answer is CORRECT. na Stalk height in sunflowers is determined by two alleles at a locus,Tandt.TT individuals are tall.Tt are medium, and t are short. In a a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equ we count 1346 short plants out of 9s66. How many plants do you expect to be tall? b) 4,640 d) O0.36 e) 02.314

Solution

Here, one needs to calculate the number of TT genotype which is denoted by p² in HWE.
According to the given information
frequency of recessive genotype (tt) q²= 1546/9660= 0.16
So, the frequency of recessive allele (t) q= 0.4
Since p+q=1
So, p= 1-q= 1-0.4= 0.6
So, the frequency of dominant genotype (TT) p²= (0.6)²= 0.36
So, the number of dominant genotype (TT)= 0.36 x 9660= 3477.6# 3480.
Correct answer is A.
