The correct answer is option D
Generation 1 has fewer purple flowers than generation as the allele frequency of purple flower in generation 1 is 0.5 while the allele frequency for white flower in generation 3 is 0.3
Answer:
Option D, Generation 1 has fewer purple flowers than generation 3 is correct.
Explanation:
Given -
Ration of color flower to white flower in generation I [tex]= 0.5:0.5[/tex]
Total Number of color flowers in generation I
[tex]= 0.5 * 200\\= 100[/tex]
Total Number of white flowers in generation I
[tex]= 0.5 * 200\\= 100[/tex]
Ration of color flower to white flower in generation II [tex]= 0.6:0.4[/tex]
Total Number of color flowers in generation II
[tex]= 0.6 * 400\\= 240[/tex]
Total Number of white flowers in generation II
[tex]= 0.4 * 400\\= 160[/tex]
Ration of color flower to white flower in generation III [tex]= 0.7:0.3[/tex]
Total Number of color flowers in generation III
[tex]= 0.7 * 400\\= 280[/tex]
Total Number of white flowers in generation III
[tex]= 0.3 * 400\\= 120[/tex]
Option D, Generation 1 has fewer purple flowers than generation 3 is correct.
