Assume that left-handedness is a recessive trait controlled by one pair of dominant-recessive alleles. If 625 of 2,500 individuals in a sample of a population is left-handed, and if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many individuals in the entire population of 10,000 would be predicted to be heterozygous for the trait?
