Consider a population of wildflowers in which the frequency of the red allele CR is p = 0.7. What is the frequency of the white allele (CW) in this population?

The frequency of white allele is 0.3

Explanation:

Given -

Frequency of red allele, p = 0.7

Frequency of white allele, q = ?

Using Hardy Weinberg Principle,

p + q = 1

So, 0.7 + q = 1

q = 0.3

Therefore, the frequency of white allele is 0.3
