The given data shows the coat colour and allele frequency of a population of rabbits which is supposed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The percentage of heterozygous individuals in the given population is:
Correct answer: C. 31%
- A. 2%
- B. 15%
- C. 31%
- D. 36%
Explanation
The percentage of heterozygous individuals in the given population is:=2pq=2(0.19)(0.81)=0.307/100=30.7%→31%.So option C is correct.All other options give incorrect percentages.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
