Aresearch team studied a large lizard population in the sonoran desert of arizona. in these lizards, gene a is one gene that affects the color pattern on the dorsal surface of the lizard’s body. in 2010, the research team sampled a large number of lizards and determined the genotypes of the lizards for the a gene. they found the following genotype frequencies: a1a1 = 0.17, a1a2 = 0.15 a2a2 = 0.68. what is the frequency of the a1 allele? 0.49 0.5 0.34 0.17 0.245 0.755 0.15

Option A,

Explanation:

As per Hardy Weinberg equation -

is the frequency of occurrence of genotype

The frequency of allele will be equal to square root of frequency of

Substituting the given value in above equation, we get -

Frequency of allele

Frequency of allele

Frequency of allele

So the nearest option is option , i.e option A

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
