A plant needs sunlight to grow, it also needs carbon dioxide, and water. The plant needs sun so it can make oxygen for animals and us, but also it gives it stuff to make glucose witch it needs. The plant needs it to survive.

The answer is 0.47 or 47%.
Let's first distinguish some terms and their frequencies.
R - the dominant allele that causes red eyes
r - the recessive allele that causes green eyes
Since R is dominant over r, lizards with at least one dominant R allele will have red eyes. Therefore, the genotypes and the phenotypes are as following:
genotypes - phenotypes
RR - the lizards with red eyes
Rr - the lizards with red eyes
rr - the lizards with green eyes
Now, we will use some Hardy-Weinberg equations:
p + q = 1
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele R
q - the frequency of recessive allele r
p² - the frequency of lizards with genotype RR
2pq - the frequency of lizards with genotype Rr
q² - the frequency of lizards with genotype <span>rr
</span>
We are interested in <span>the frequency p of the dominant R allele.
</span>So, we have the frequency (72%) of the lizards that have red eyes. However, lizards with genotypes RR and Rr will have red eyes. Since their frequencies are p² and 2pq, respectively, we have:
p² and 2pq = 72% = 72/100 = 0.72
Now, use this in the equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1:
0.72 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28
From here, we will calculate q and later p using the formula p + q = 1:
q² = 0.28
q = √0.28 = 0.53
p + q = 1
p + 0.53 = 1
p = 1 - 0.53
p = 0.47
