What is the frequency of the T allele in the current gene pool? Question 3 options: 0.68 0.435 0.52 0.84 ### Population Genetics of Cat Tail LengthA population of 500 cats has two alleles of interest for determining tail length. The T allele encodes for a long tail and is completely dominant over the t allele, which encodes for a short tail. The table below presents the phenotype of cats with each possible genotype as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype.| Phenotype | Genotype | Number of Individuals ||---------------|----------|-----------------------|| ![Long-tailed cat](https://via.placeholder.com/50) | TT | 260 || ![Long-tailed cat](https://via.placeholder.com/50) | Tt | 160 || ![Short-tailed cat](https://via.placeholder.com/50) | tt | 80 |In this table:- **Phenotype**: The observable characteristic of the cats (long-tailed or short-tailed).- **Genotype**: The genetic makeup of the cats (TT, Tt, or tt).- **Number of Individuals**: The count of cats having each specific genotype.This data illustrates that:- 260 cats possess the TT genotype and display a long-tailed phenotype.- 160 cats possess the Tt genotype and also exhibit a long-tailed phenotype due to the dominance of the T allele.- 80 cats possess the tt genotype, resulting in a short-tailed phenotype.This visualization helps in understanding the distribution of alleles and corresponding phenotypes in a given population of cats.
