A population of aphids living on a bush suffer different levels of predation based on a color associated with a single dominant gene that has two alleles. The dominant color is green (GG or Gg) and the recessive color is olive (gg). In a population of 100 individuals there are 80 green aphids and 20 olive aphids. You find that there are 50 heterozygotes. What are the allele frequencies of G and g, respectively

Frequency of dominant allele

Frequency of recessive allele

Explanation:

It is given that  olive color is a recessive trait.

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation-

p signifies the frequency of dominant allele in a given population and q signifies the frequency of recessive allele in a given population.

Also as per the first law of Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium , sum of allele frequencies is equal to one for a given population.

Thus

Frequency of recessive individuals is represented by

Here,

Thus, frequency of dominant allele i.e G is equal to

Frequency of dominant allele

Frequency of recessive allele

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
