A)0.55
B)0.45
C)1.55
D)Without knowing the number of b alleles and the number of individuals,the frequency of b cannot be determined.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The allele frequency of b can be determined using the formula p + q = 1, where p and q represent the frequencies of the two alleles. If the frequency of allele B is 0.55, then the frequency of allele b would be 1 - 0.55 = 0.45. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
