Pine snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus) live in the central Louisiana pine savannahs, where lightning strikes and fires are common. Pine snakes have evolved two types of fire avoidance behavior: slither away and dive-in-gopher-hole. If the dominant allele (D) causes the dive-in-gopher-hole behavior and if 25% of pine snakes slither away, what would be the frequency of the dominant allele? Assume the population is in genetic equilibrium.

Select one:

a. .5

b. 0.5

c. 0.75

d. 0.25
