Question

question 1 of 10
a trait has two alleles, represented by p and q. if p = 0.89, what is q?
a. 0.11
b. 0.89
c. 0.94
d. 0.33

Explanation:

Step1: Use the Hardy - Weinberg principle

In the Hardy - Weinberg principle, for a trait with two alleles \(p\) and \(q\), \(p + q=1\).

Step2: Solve for \(q\)

Given \(p = 0.89\), substitute into the formula \(q=1 - p\). So \(q = 1-0.89\).

Step3: Calculate the value of \(q\)

\(q=0.11\).

Answer:

A. 0.11
