Question

In the population of $50,000$ individuals, if the frequency of recessive allele for a character is $40\%$, then find the number of organisms having dominant character :-

• A. $30,000$
• B. $4200$
• C. $42,000$
• D. $36,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $30,000$

Total populations = 50,000

The frequency of recessive allele character in total population is 40% of the total population

= 40/100×50,000

= 20,000

No of an organism having a dominant character = total population - recessive character

= 50,000- 20,000

=30,000

So the correct option is "30,000".
