You are studying a population of wolves and you find 5% of the alleles at a specific coat color locus in your population are recessive. If you were to consider this information in the context of the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, the 5% you have been given represents: q 2pq q^2 P^2 + 2pq allele frequency

Solution

Hardy Weinbergs equation is p^2 + 2pq + q^2. In the above equation of Hardy Weinbergs theorem 5% shall be represented as q^2 where q^2 is percentage of homozygous recessive allele.
