<span>This question can be solved using Hardy-Weinberg equation. The equation would be:
a+b=1
</span>a^2+2ab+b^2=1

<span>There are 360 individual with genotype bb which means
b^2=360/1000
b=</span>√0.36= 0.6

The frequency of b allele would be: 0.6

How does the chance of a coin landing on each side compare to the chance that a gamete cell will receive a particular gene at me
tresset_1 [31]
The chance of a coin landing heads or tails is 50% for each individual time. It doesn't matter what the previous throws resulted in. If you flip a coin ten times you can get ten heads, but the probability is still 50% for each toss. The same holds true with gametes. The probability is 50% at the production of each individual cell.
