Answer: 49%

Explanation:

* long hair = P

* shirt hair = q using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for genotypic frequencies

* p^2 + 2pq + q^2 =1

*first use the equation to solve for the known value 18% hh

.18 = q^2

Square root .18 = q

So q = .42

* plug this allelic frequency in to p+q = 1

Which will give you the frequency of dominant alleles

1 - .45 = p So P = .58

Then just plug the P and q values found into the portion of the equation for heterozygous offspring.

2(.58)(.42)

Which is .49 or 49%

The entire population should be 33% homozygous dominant 49% heterozygous and 18% homozygous recessive.

larisa [96]
The system Aristotle created did not allow organisms to be classified into small subgroups where they’d be able to be varied and differentiated, rather, he placed them in plants and animal groups (?) where there allowed to be no classification rather than the basics that included phenotypes primarily. Therefore, his classification system was too general in the sense that in only classified based off general phenotypes rather than sub qualities within the organism.

Hope this helps!
