Calculate the frequency of the silver gene

Reference no: EM13110354

Platinum color in foxes is produced by a heterozygous genotype involving interactions between a gene for silver and a co-dominant lethal gene. The silver gene in the homozygous state produces silver color; the lethal homozygote usually dies during early embryonic development. Calculate the frequency of the silver gene among a group of foxes where 48 percent are silver and 52 percent are platinum.
