Question

Consider a wildflower population with the following allele and genotype frequencies.

Frequency of the C^Rallele: p = 0.6

Frequency of the C^Wallele: q = 0.4

Frequency of C^RC^R: 50%

Frequency of C^RC^W: 20%

Frequency of C^WC^W: 30%

Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

No, the frequency of genotype C^RC^Wis too low.

No, the frequency of genotype C^RC^Ris too low.

Yes, the genotype frequencies are what we would expect for a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

No, the frequency of genotype C^WC^Wis too low.
