Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Allele for dominant freckle trait is "F"
Allele for recessive no freckle trait is "f"
Given -
Population lacking freckles [tex]= 4[/tex]%
As per Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium equation
p represents the frequency of dominant allele in a given population and [tex]p^2[/tex] represents the frequency of dominant individuals in a given population
Like wise
q represents the frequency of recessive allele in a given population and [tex]q^2[/tex] represents the frequency of recessive individuals in a given population
[tex]q^2 = 0.04\\q = 0.2[/tex]
Frequency of dominant allele [tex]= 1- 0.2\\= 0.8[/tex]
Frequency of homozygous recessive individual
[tex]q^2 = 0.4[/tex]
Frequency of homozygous dominant individual
[tex]q^2 = 0.4[/tex][tex]0.8^2\\= 0.64[/tex]
Option C is correct
