    Dogs with genotype CC ⇒ 1, 1.0

    Dogs with genotype Cc ⇒ 20, 20.0

    Dogs with genotype cc ⇒ 89, 89.0

    The hardy-weinberg equation is

    p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

    where are already given with

    c = 0.1 and C = 0.9

    SO

    p2 = 0.9^2

    p2 = 0.81

    q2 = 0.01

    0.81 + 2pq - 0.01 = 1

    2pq = 0.18

    The answers are

    CC = 0.81

    cc = 0.01

    Cc = 0.18
