Recall that the frequency of a trait can be determined based on the proportion of offspring that has the trait. A garden contains 40 flowers, 30 of which are red. What is the frequency of red flowers? (1 point)

• 0.25

• 1.0

• 0.5

0.75

1 answer

To find the frequency of red flowers, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of red flowers}}{\text{Total number of flowers}} \]

In this case, there are 30 red flowers out of a total of 40 flowers:

\[ \text{Frequency} = \frac{30}{40} = 0.75 \]

So, the frequency of red flowers is 0.75.
