Scenario I In the year 2100, humans successfully colonized the Moon. The lunar modules that were created could only house a small population of people. It is now a century later, and the population has grown to 3,000 people. In the current Moon population, 20 people express the recessive phenotype for cystic fibrosis (cc genotype).

Answer: 0.147

Explanation:

Using Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

q2 - 20/3000 = 0.0066

q - √0.0066 = 0.08

p - 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

P² = 0.8464

2pq - 2 x (0.92) x (0.08) = 0.147
