Social ScienceIn a hypothetical population of 2500 people, 2275 people have brown eyes and 225 people have blue eyes (the homozygous-recessive phenotype). If there are 4000 children produced by this generation, how many (i.e., what number) of the children would be expected to be heterozygous for eye color?

Expert Answer
According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles in a population can be represented by a formula p + q = 1, where p represents the frequency of the dominant allele and q represents the frequency of the recessive allele.
From the given question, it is understood that,
