Biology

A population of 120 pea plants were examined. Three colorationsexisted within the population; 70 red (RR), 43 pink (Rr), and 7white (rr). Calculate the 1) number of each allele and the 2)allele frequencies. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation(p2 +2pq+q2=1.0) calculate the 3) genotype frequencies. Based on apopulation size of 120 pea plants, 4) what is the predicted numbersof each genotype? 5) How does the predicted compare to the observedpopulation? Show your work.
