A Hardy Weinberg carnation problem
Not what you're looking for?
Carnations exhibit "blended inheritance" (co-dominant or intermediate inheritance). 2 alleles for color R and R' produce red and white flowers, respectively, when in homozygous condition. When an individual possesses bothe alleles (RR') their phenotype is pink. If the allele frequency for R is 0.23, how many pink individuals would you expect in a population of 2500, if you assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibruim. Help is given.
