Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify th

e gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (TT = 0.56; Tt = 0.28; tt = 0.16) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the T and t.
I already know the answer is "No, there are more homozygotes than expected", but I do not understand how to find this answer. SHOW WORK.

Answer:

when doing this dont square p or q b/c (p^2) represents homozygous frequency already same thing for q and 2pq (dont need to multiply by 2)

also to do p + q = 1

take the square root of the genotype frequencies THEN add them, if greater than one does not meet equlibrium b/c more HOMOZYGOTES than expected

as in this case

No; there are more homozygotes than expected.
