Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09

Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.

For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l

So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.

To calculate the frequencies:

Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)

p = 182/200 = 0.91

The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:

q = 18/200 = 0.09

Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.
