Answer 1

1. I'm kind of weak in Hardy-Weinberg applications .. Let's see. (1) View the equation p ^ 2 + 2pq + q ^ 2 = 1 and p + q = 1 you have your q ^ 2 = 0.15 so q = sqrt (answer) 2. Use this equation p 2 + 2 pq + q 2 = 1 You have q 2 = 0.18 q = sqrt (0.18) = 0.424 p = 1-q = 0.576 2pq = 0.49 49%
