Hardy-Weinberg Equation (HW) states that following certain biological tenets or requirements, the total frequency of all homozygous dominant alleles (p) and the total frequency of all homozygous recessive alleles (q) for a gene, account for the total # of alleles for that gene in that HW population, which is 100% or 1.00 as a decimel. So in short: p + q = 1, and additionally (p+q)^2 = 1^2, or 1
So (p+q)(p+q) algebraically works out to p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = genotype frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
The problem states that Ptotal = 150 individuals, H frequency (p) = 0.2, and h frequency (q) = 0.8.
So homozygous dominant individuals (HH) = p^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04 or 4% of 150 --> 6 people
Heterozygous individuals (Hh) = 2pq = 2(0.2)(0.8) = 0.32 or 32% of 150
--> 48 people
And homozygous recessive individuals (hh) = q^2 = (0.8)^2 = 0.64 = 64% of 150 --> 96 people
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve these types of population genetics problems!

Answer:
I just answered this same question for my Biology class hope this helps :)
Explanation:
A hydrogen bond is when positive and negative hydrogen forms together; this explains why cohesion sticks molecules together . Because of cohesion, the water molecules stick together and form a surface; this property is responsible for surface tension. Adhesion is the ability for water to stick to other substances; this helps with capillary action. Hydrogen bonding also explains why water's boiling point is higher than some liquid . With this, water has a high specific heat; this is because the water takes a lot of energy to raise (or lower) the temperature. Once again, hydrogen bonding is essential to another property. This property causes water to expand and to have a low density when frozen.
