Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Calculate the percentage of individuals homozygous for the dominant allele. We know that the frequency of the recessive homozygote genotype is q2 and equal to 0.09. Thus, p = 1 – q ∴ p = 1 – 0.30 = 0.70 ∴The homozygote dominants are represented by p2 = (0.70)2 = 0.49 or 49% Page 2 4.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a Hardy Weinberg question, if they give you the # of Homozygous dominant, # of heterozygous and the # of homozygous recessive. You can calculate the p and q by using the total number of alleles of p or q divided by the total number of alleles in the population or finding
