If the frequency of one allele in a population is 0.7, what is the frequency of the alternate allele?

A) 0.30
B) 0.21
C) 0.42
D) 0.09
E) 0.49

0.49

To get the frequency of the alternate allele, we need to subtract the frequency of the given allele from 1.

So, 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

Therefore, the frequency of the alternate allele is 0.3, which corresponds to answer choice A) 0.30.
