If yellow is dominant togreen, what are the frequencies of the alleles in this population? Is this an example of a fixedpopulation?In garden pea plants, tall stem length (T) is dominant over short stem length (t). In an ideal garden pea plant population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, if allele T has a frequency of 0.77, what percentage of the population is recessive for this trait? Round your answer to the nearest whole number percentage.A meadow is home to a population of plants of a particular species. Among these individuals are 125 plants that have red flowers and 375 plants that have white flowers.
