Answer:

30.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 30 "W" alleles are in the population. "W" alleles are the dominant alleles in the population because it appears in the shape and appearance of an organism while on the other hand, ''w'' is the recessive allele that has very less chance to be appear in the presence of dominant allele i. e. ''W''. So we can say that dominant alleles are appeared in the population.
