Answer :
About 25 recessive alleles are there in the flower population.
The genetic diversity of a population at equilibrium can be determined using the Hardy-Weinberg equation. This equation is given by, p²+2pq+q² = 1.
Where p² is the frequency of homozygous dominant, q² is the frequency of homozygous recessive, 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous, p is the frequency of the dominant allele, and q is the recessive allele frequency.
Given, p² is 30, 2pq is 15, and q is 5. We have to find the frequency of homozygous recessive.
q² = 5² = 25
Therefore, the answer is 25. The correct option is option d.
The complete question is -
