Answer:

25% ;  50%

Explanation:

Assuming the dominant allele for the rolling tongue is P, then the recessive allele will be p.

The population unable to roll their tongue will be recessive dominant pp = 25% = 0.25

To find the frequency of the p allele then = (square root of 0.25) = 0.5

Remember the Hardy Weinberg equation of p + q = 1 & p² +2pq + q² = 1

Therefore P = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5

Homozygous dominant individuals will be P*P = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%

Heterozygous individuals will be 2*P*p= 2*0.5 *0.5 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%
