In a population of mice, the presence of black spots is the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%

This is because land could not be colonized by other organisms such as animals until land plants became established-there was nothing for animals to feed on.

So, plants were one of the earliest organisms to leave the water and colonize land.
