Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showingincomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink & White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried out and the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some. of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunately the data was lost. The only data saved was that the brown homozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population. a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and white homozygotes? b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the next generation of dolphins in this population will contain the b allele?

Question
Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showingincomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink &
White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried out
and the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some.
of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunately
the data was lost. The only data saved was that the brown
homozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population.
a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and white
homozygotes?
b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the next
generation of dolphins in this population will contain the b allele?
