The number of homozygous dominant fruit flies.

उत्तर
In Hardy Weinberg, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where 'p2' is the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype (AA), '2pq' is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (Aa), and 'q2' is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa).
Given:
q = 0.4
We know p + q = 1
p = 1 − q
= 1 − 0.4
= 0.6
number of homozygous dominant fruit flies is As,
p2(AA) = (0.6)2
= 0.36
= 0.36 × 200
= 72
