Question

this chart represents a population that has three different alleles for a gene.

which sentence is true about the distribution of the alleles in the population?

a. the onw allele has the greatest frequency.

b. the pw allele has the greatest frequency.

c. the tqp allele has the lowest frequency.

d. the three alleles have equal frequencies.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the percentages

The percentages for the alleles are: 70P - 32%, ONW - 45%, PCN - 23%.

Step2: Compare the values

Since 45% (ONW) > 32% (70P) > 23% (PCN). So the ONW allele has the greatest frequency.

Answer:

A. The ONW allele has the greatest frequency.
