Question

Biology

You have been cultivating snapdragons in your garden andallowing plants to re-germinate each year from seeds dropped by theprevious year’s annual plants. You know that white flowers arerecessive and count 9 white flower plants out of 100 that youexamine. Do you find evidence for evolution acting in yourpopulation? If yes, could natural selection be involved?

Can we calculate using HWE here or we can't because if wecalculate q^2 then we are assuming the population is in HWE. I wasalso thinking along the lines that if we calculate q , it wouldn'tonly be for homozygous recessive but also for heterozygous, thatswhy we can't know what proportion of q is homozygous recessive andthus compare it to original number of white flowers to see ifevolution is happening. please tell me if this is correct orwrong.

AND PLEASE DONT ANSWER IF YOU AREN'T 100% SURE OF THE SOLUTION.ive seen answers to this question on chegg and im sure it ISNTcorrect. Thanks, ill definitely give you a thumbs up!
