Answer 1

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

$$\text{Frequency}=\frac{\text{Number of individuals with the trait}}{\text{Total number of individuals}}$$

In this case:

• Number of red flowers = 30
• Total number of flowers = 40

So, the frequency of red flowers is:

$$\text{Frequency}=\frac{30}{40}=0.75$$

Therefore, the frequency of red flowers is 0.75.
