In garden pea plants, round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r). In an ideal pea plant population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 35 pea plants out of 100 have wrinkled seeds. Calculate the frequency of homozygous round pea plants in the population. Express your answer using two significant digits.

In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 30 % of the individuals are recessive homozygotes for a certain trait. In a population of 25,000, calculate the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals and heterozygous individuals. (Show the solution)
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the maximum possible frequency of heterozygotes? Your answer should be a single number between 0 and 1, rounded to two decimal places. For example, if you think the answer is 1/3, you should answer 0.33
If 80% of a population has a heterozy gous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows a recessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, does the population obey the rules of H - W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your final answer.
In a population of fish, gold scales are dominant to black scales. A fish population of 100 total have 65 fish that have gold scales. Based on this information, what is the p value? Please report your answer as a decimal rounded to the hundredths.
In a hypothetical bug population, color is determined by a single gene and black is dominant over white. The frequency of the black allele is 0.1. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what percentage of the bugs would you expect to be white? Please show your work.
A hypothetical species of plant has flowers whose color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, blue (B) and yellow (Y), where blue is dominant and yellow is recessive. A population of 2430 of these plants includes 190 plants with yellow flowers.Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the yellow allele?

In a dense forest, a population of squirrels has been observed for their fur color. The fur color is determined by a single gene with two alleles: B (black) and b (brown). In a sample of 100 squirrels, you observed 30 black (BB), 50 black-brown (Bb), and 20 brown (bb) individuals. Determine if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and show your work.
