Question

If the frequency of gene "J" in a population is 0.7 and this gene is completely dominant over its single allele "j", what percentage of the population is expected to show the dominant phenotype?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
