In four o’clock plants, there are three phenotypes for flower color but only two alleles. In one population, q2 = 0.169, and the population is assumed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The table below shows the number of plants of each phenotype that are expected in a population of 1,000 plants in the next generation.

Phenotype number expected
-red flowers 105
-pink flowers 484
-white flowers 411

In the next generation, what p value is expected?
a.0.105
b.0.411
c.0.516
d.0.589

Question

In four o’clock plants, there are three phenotypes for flower color but only two alleles. In one population, q2 = 0.169, and the population is assumed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The table below shows the number of plants of each phenotype that are expected in a population of 1,000 plants in the next generation.

Phenotype                    number expected 
-red flowers                  105
-pink flowers                484
-white flowers              411

In the next generation, what p value is expected?
