There are 160 heterozygous plants in total of 500. Its genotypic frequency will be
Correct answer: B. 0.32
- A. 0.64
- B. 0.32
- C. 0.04
- D. 0.44
Explanation
In our model wildflower population, these frequencies are AA=0.64 (64%) (320 out of 500 plants), Aa=0.32 (160/500), and aa = 0.04 (20/500).

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
