You have two populations of flowering plants. In these populations floral color is controlled by one gene. The red gene (R) is dominant to the white gene (r). In population 1, 75% of the flowers are red, in population 2 25% of the flowers are white. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which population has a greater frequency of the R allele?
a. Neither; they both have the same frequency.
b. population 2.
c. population 1.
