Answer:
Allele frequency for brown fur color [tex]0.43[/tex]
Allele frequency for orange fur color [tex]0.570[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
"O" denotes dominant brown allele
and "o" denotes recessive orange allelehe
The trait "coat color" is linked with X gene
Brown homozygous females: 30
Brown heterozygous females: 75
Orange females: 10
Brown males: 50
Orange males: 65
Allele frequency for orange color
[tex]\frac{10+65}{30+75+10+50+65} \\= \frac{75}{230} \\= 0.3260\\[/tex]
Thus [tex]q = \sqrt{0.3260} \\q = 0.570\\[/tex]
Allele frequency for orange fur color [tex]0.570[/tex]
Allele frequency for brown color
[tex]p = 1-q\\= 1- 0.570\\= 0.43[/tex]
Allele frequency for brown fur color [tex]0.43[/tex]
