Hello
I have walked you through the steps of how to solve this problem and explained how to understand the components of the Hardy Weinberg equation. I hope this information helps you understand the material.
In order to do this problem you need to understand what the Hardy Weinberg equation is and what the variables in the equation represent. There are two equations that you must know. In both equations p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele. The first equation is the Hardy Weinberg equation which is p2 + 2pq + q2. In this equation p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant individuals in a population (it is homozygous dominant because there are two p alleles which means 2 ...
