In a Population of Ground Beetles, a Genetic Locus That

Multiple Choice

In a population of ground beetles, a genetic locus that codes for setae on the elytra has two variants: G is dominant and codes for setae on the elytra, and g is recessive and codes for glabrous elytra (no setae) . If the frequency of beetles with glabrous elytra is 0.36, what is the frequency of the G allele, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

A) 0.6
B) 0.4
C) 0.64
D) 0.16
E) none of the above
